I think you'll need to get a computer with a serial port to download. The USB and COM towers work differently, specifically the COM tower shuts down and has to be woken up again, where as the USB stays on the entire time it is plugged in. If you configured the LEGO software to work with the USB tower, then that's your problem. (I think)
hmm. the only thing is, that it works with the small programs.. if it didnt work at all, itll be somewhat more explainable.
i havent configured the lego software, i dont think,. is there a way to?
