How have you got tested the sensors?
Have you got the LEGO-Firmware or the Enhanced firmware other any other firmware?
Do other sensors work on this NXT?

There are a couple color sensors available, one from LEGO, and one from HiTechinic. They do NOT use the same software.

Sounds like you have the one from LEGO (with three lights). I don't think the software (block) is available for that sensor as a separate download. It should be included in the software you got with your NXT 2.0 kit where you got the sensor.

I would have thought the Education version 2.0 would include everything the standard version has, but just in case I'm wrong you can get a standard download here -
