Please excuse if this has already been posted.  I have just received the
Vision Command S/W CDROM for XP from Lego and it works great !  Here is an
email I received from them with the details if anyone else is interested.  I
received this after pestering them many times (non stop ?) with complaints
about the lack of XP support. I guess I was not the only one complaining.

You can call Lego and get them to send you the new XP version of the
Vision Command Software.

> Dear LEGO® Builder,
> Thank you for contacting the LEGO Company.   LEGO MINDSTORMS(tm) set
> #9731 Vision Command was developed before Windows®XP was brought to the
> market, and as such is not compatible with Windows XP and will not run

> inform you that the Vision Command WinXP software is now available.

> We will be sending this out to you in CD-Rom format. If you have not

> Upon receipt of the CD-Rom, should you experience any problems, please

apologies for any inconvenience this has caused in your home.

> Please do not hesitate to contact LEGO Consumer Services at

I x-posted this to the lugnet.robotics, as I felt this applied to the robotics community in general... There is also a patch CD for LEGO Studios.
