Hi All, it's me with the accursed (but fixed) Medion Laptop again.
After a regal shouting match with them they finally put me onto someone who would help, and I am pleased to say that I was sent a new screen inverter free of charge after three weeks.
Any way the reason I am posting is that after compressing and uncompressing the C: drive I wound up with some corruptions that prompted me to run the windows XP home disk in repair mode. This went horribly wrong when a .dll file could not be found and the installation froze. As I had installed all relevant service packs and updates since the original installation I figured that I had lost whatever the old disk was looking for and in desparation put in the disk for a new desktop that I bought recently. This went well and generally all is now running smoothly, however my IR port is no longer working and whilst the system manager shows it is running smoothly I cannot get my Nokia phone to fire up the IR recognition software.
Opening the Nokia software and selecting the IR link tells me that the 'IR socket API caused an error' and trying to install the software for my old Motorola (that creates a virtual port for IR) tells that I do not have an 'Infrared Adapter' installed.
My applications and support CD is no help and searching MS help and support has produced nothing.
Help please?........
