Windows 2000/XP
Both Windows 2000 and XP include infrared drivers in their operating
systems. From the Control Panel, click on Add New Hardware and select
the appropriate IR port, whether built-in or using an external dongle.
Windows NT4.0
For IR use, Windows NT4.0 requires installation of QuickBeam software
from Extended Systems (www.extendedsystems.com). Desktop PCs and
laptops without built-in IR ports also require adding an IR dongle. While
laptops with a built-in IR port normally do not require a dongle, its addition
might be necessary in some cases.
Windows Me/98SE/98/95
The Windows 98SE and Me operating systems include IR drivers.
However, in most cases, the IR port has not been installed or configured.
From the Control Panel, click on Add New Hardware and select Choose
Device From List. Select Infrared from the list and then select the
appropriate infrared port, whether built-in or external.
Note: In some instances, the infrared port must be enabled in the BIOS of
your PC. Consult your computer documentation, manufacturer or
MIS department. Assistance is also available from the Microsoft
Support Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com.
