Hello,

I'm looking for some help with a Mindstorms RCX that uses Lejos, and I hope 
this is the right place to ask. My first language isn't english, so sorry if 
I make some mistakes :-P.

I'm a university student trying to make a small projet with a Mindstorms 
RCX. A webcam plugged to a PC recognises the environment, the PC decides 
which actions must be executed by the RCX then sends a message to the RCX so 
the orders are executed.

So I installed a 1.4 jdk, Lejos 2.1 (I tried with 3.0, I get the same 
error), I made a program for my RCX that I compiled with Lejosc.dat and a 
program in Java that I compiled using Javac. Everything is done with batch 
files that begin by the configuration of my environment variables like this 
:

set LEJOS_HOME=D:\lejos
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.4.2

set PATH=%PATH%;%LEJOS_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

set 
CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\src;%LEJOS_HOME%/lib/classes.jar;%LEJOS_HOME%/lib/pcrcxcomm.jar;./

When I started the project I was working with a crappy PC with windows XP, 
everything worked fine. I recently bought a new PC with Windows Vista 
(Premium Edition) and tried to use my RCX. I began by runing the firmdl.bat 
file, and everything was fine until the end of the download, then the RCX 
made a bip and the PC just stopped working. It was frozen, and I couldn't do 
anything else than shutting it down manually.

The RCX was showing the battery level so I thought everything was ok, and as 
I shouldn't execute the firmdl to often (just when I recharge the 
batteries), it wasn't a big problem. So I executed the Lejosdl.bat file to 
put my program in the RCX. It was ok but again, at the end, the PC stopped 
working.

At this point I was a bit worried, but as the RCX was looking good I tried 
to execute a basic instruction anyway. The PC sent the instruction but the 
RCX didn't react at all and, of course, the PC stopped working again.

I hope someone will be able to help me. I'm not sure what specifications you 
need, if you ask for more info I will gladly give it.

Thank you very much
