Need software to run RCX with Win7

[KarstenHW]

Back again after a break of 2.5 years. I apologize for dropping out of the conversation. We just could not make it fit in, the teaching schedule changed, and the daily routine arrived. No robotics as a result. However, schedule changed again and robotics can come back if I can make it work with the equipment we have. Still cannot afford new robotic kits.

Are there any news to control the Lego RCX with Windows 7 (or anything newer) and 64 bit machines? Our tech support guy reports that RoboLab installed fine but that the USB port seems to not connect. (I think that is what he said).

I would not mind NOT using RoboLab if that is a solution to our problem.

Does anyone have new thoughts to get us going again?
Thanks!
