infra red + xp sp2

[buletov]

I've noticed on a several occasions that after an (clean) upgrade to

SP2 my self-phones became invisible to a several tested notebooks

as a "near by computer" when using InfraRed connection, and were

just detected as a IR modem...so i can't sent pictures to them.

when i try to send a picture from a self phone, again an error on the

phone screen after about 20 secons of searching for a device...

on old windows xp with sp1 everything was working fine.

any suggestions?

may i ask what is your cell phone and the laptop in question?

well one of the laptops is HP nx9010, and cell phone doesn't matter cause it worked normally with SP1...

[buletov]

you need Drivers my son

ah c'mon... what drivers; there are none on hp site.

[buletov]

why wont u tell me the model of your phone?

is it a sony, nokia, motorola or samsung.

the reason is there is a software i can recommend.

well up to you.

[buletov]

well i don't know exactly what model since it's not mine;

i think one of the models is SonyEricsson Z600

An another is Siemens C65

P.S.Alienware suggested I should try waiting up to 2 minutes to establish connection sucessfully... ???

(one alienware laptop also have this issue)

ahh.... in that case why dont u buy an external ir port?

my sony laptop only comes with bluetooth and not infra red port

sucks i know. I hv a usb ir port instead

[buletov]

...well the main question is WHY does it work flawlessly with SP1?

If the laptop HAS a working IR, who want's to buy an external one?
