Win 7 PC freezes on Find Brick (RCX2)

Hi everyone
If I start amending a program before connecting to the RCX and then take the Find Brick option from the tools menu the program ceases to respond. Even Task Manager cannot delete the process - generally I can reboot which is irritating - once I had to unplug the power cable and pull the battery (which is worse than irritating). Any ideas?

Do you have 32-bit or 64-bit system?

Sorry - I should have said - its 32 bit. Thanks for your reply.

Have you tried the latest USB tower driver?

I think so; I'm using the one at http://www.robotc.net/files/rcxdriver.zip. See the thread just below this one in the Hardware forum.

I would try the one I linked to. It is the the one afanofosc (A.K.A. The creator of bricxcc) suggests

Spot on. It fixes the freeze problem as well as the problem in the previous thread. What would I do without you guys - thanks.
