Communication with the RCX looks fine, but the RCX is refusing to change
the program.  This is exactly what would happen if no firmware was
loaded.  Are you sure you have firmware installed?  With firmware, the
display will look like this "00.00 ! 1", while without it will be " ! 1"
(where ! is the icon for the person standing still).

I was fairly certain it had the "00.00" and the person - I can't guarantee the
00.00 bit but I know it has the standing person which changes to a walking
person when you select a program and press run.  (I also assumed that if it
got to that part and was happily powering motors, it had the firmware...)
I have already got the version 2 firmware but have been reluctant to start
trying to install it if the connection was not quite working in case it made
matters a lot worse!  I will give it a try when I get home and see what
happens...

Cheers for the input..
