MicroWorlds EX Robotics for Windows 2000/XP/Vista
 

If you have any questions that are not answered here, you can always call us at (800) 321-5646 / (514) 939-8700 ext.110, or, better yet, e-mail us at support@lcsi.ca.

Q. I'm receiving an error message when I try to run MicroWorlds EX Robotics Edition under Vista.

A. Please contact us for v.1.6. In the meantime click OKAY and the message will disappear.

Q. MicroWorlds EX Robotics doesn't recognize my Lego™ USB Tower?

A. Please read the following document USB Tower [PDF] for some Lego™ USB Tower driver installation tips.

Q. When I double-click a MicroWorlds EX project, MicroWorlds EX launches the Welcome screen rather than the project?

A. You may have this problem if you've installed Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Please contact us for the v.1.6 upgrade.

Q. MicroWorlds EX Robotics Edition won't run on my Windows 98/ME/NT system?

A. We don't support MicroWorlds EX Robotics under Windows 98/ME/NT. However, you might want to try upgrading your copy of Internet Explorer.

Q. I'm having trouble playing embedded sounds?

A. Please contact us for the v.1.6 upgrade.

Q. My PC freezes when I launch MicroWorlds EX Robotics with my Lego USB Tower attached.

A: Contact us or visit Lego Mindstorm to get the latest Lego USB Tower driver. Remove the previous driver (Control Panel / Lego USB Tower), download the new driver, unzip the package and run the installer (setup.exe). Then, and only then, connect your Lego USB tower and follow the on-screen instructions. That new driver solves known issues (scanning the ports for the Tower) with some Dell computers and other computers with hyperthreading capabilities.

Q. My question isn't answered here. Where else can I find help?

A. If you still need help, please do not hesitate to contact us from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm EST at (800) 321-5646 / (514) 939-8700 ext.110 or better yet, send an e-mail to support@lcsi.ca Before calling or e-mailing Technical Support, please have the following information at hand:
