To install a Windows 95 infrared driver:
1. Click the HotSync Manager icon
and choose Setup. Click the tabs and make a note of the COM ports
being used by the HotSync Manager. You need this information
later.
2. Go to this web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads
3. Follow the links to the Windows 95 IrDA 2.0 (Infrared Driver), and
follow the instructions to download the driver.
4. Close your Internet browser if it's in the way.
5. Find the file W95ir.exe on your computer.
Before you go to the next step, be sure this file is in a folder
where you want to store the infrared driver.
6. Double-click W95ir.exe.
A window appears and displays the files that are being un-
zipped onto your hard disk. After the files are unzipped, the ti-
tle bar displays Finished. Close this window.
7. In the same folder where you unzipped W95ir.exe, find the file
Setup.exe. Double-click it to begin installation.
The Add Infrared Device Wizard appears.
8. Click Next.
9. Accept the defaults provided by the Wizard except when the
Wizard asks you to select the port that your infrared device is
physically connected to. Be sure that an available communications
port is selected. Do not select the port that the HotSync Manager
currently uses.
10. Continue the rest of the installation using the defaults provided.
If an alert appears telling you that there is a communication
port conflict, click OK and proceed.
After you install the infrared driver, you need to check the ports used
by your personal computer for infrared communication.
