When I bring up ROBOLAB, the "ADMINISTRATOR" button is not enabled, so I can't download firmware to (...) (24 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Hello, Im new with Robolab and Lego Dacta. And I didn't undestand if Robolab can be used with all Lego Dacta products, such as theIntelligent House (with what I'm working).
