10.4.3 Installation Windows 98 and Windows ME
1. The IrDA- device will be automatically detected and treated as a serial infrared connection in the
NETWORK folder
2. After installing, execute the program Ins_IRDA.EXE (will set permanently the values in the registers)
You might copy the program IRDA.EXE in the AUTOSTART folder. This program will always direct the
proper IrDA port when starting Windows.
10.4.4 Remark for Windows ME
Windows ME does not support virtual COM ports anymore. Therefore, not all IrDA devices will be supported.
There is a manual fix possible to install a virtual COM port under Windows ME:
• Go to SYSTEM / HARDWARE / NO, CHOOSE HARDWARE IN LIST / OTHER COMPONENTS
• Choose MICROSOFT / INFRARED DEVICE
(Here follows the GERMAN version, as the English words may differed ;-) :
Systemsteuerung / Hardware / „Nein, Hardware in der Liste wählen“ „Andere Komponente“ anwählen
Hersteller „Microsoft“ Modell „Infrarot-Uebertragungsgerät“ auswählen)
After installing, do not re-boot
• Start REGEDIT.EXE and follow the path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\INFRARED\COM\ROOT&INFRARED&0000
• Double click on PORT NAME and increase the value of the COM- port to the next higher one
(e.g. COM5)
• Confirm with OK end exit REGEDIT.EXE
• Reboot Windows ME
