  The EV3 software is not backwards compatible with RCX 1.0.
  
  You will need to install the software from the CD-ROM that would have come with your set. If you do decide to [purchase one online](http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=44442), you can do so from a 3rd party marketplace such as Bricklink.
  
  Be sure to install the correct version of the CD-ROM (RCX 1.0) and check to see if your operating system is compatible with the software.

  Instead of the LEGO RIS software, you can use [BricxCC](http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/) to write programs for the RCX.
  
  It's not graphical as the LEGO software but is intended to teach programming instead of drawing blocks on screen.
  
  It works well under Wine if you're using Linux.
