Old Mindstorms (RIS) Software on Win XP - USB Tower Lockup - Patch
Last night I started working on a project for the old Mindstorms kit with the RCX. I got a new PC a couple months ago, and this is the first time I've installed the old RIS software on it and tried to use the USB IR tower. When I connected the tower, it locked up my PC.
After some searching, I found there is a driver patch to fix this. Lego has information on this here. If you want to jump straight to getting the patch for English, click here. Other languages are available - see the first link I have above for those.
Yippee... No lockup!
