---------------------------------------------------------------------
I know IR is old skool but hey, it comes handy at times especially when BT acts-up on you. This one is written by a
good online buddy of mine, qtdemon666.
[quote]This procedure assumes that the infrared device is connected to a serial port on your computer. Use this
procedure only if Windows did not automatically install an infrared device when you turned on your computer.
Typically, Universal Serial Bus (USB), PCMCIA, and other Plug and Play-compliant infrared devices are automatically
detected and installed.
To add a new infrared device:
01. Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add Hardware.
02. The Add Hardware Wizard starts.
03. Click Next.
04. Click Yes, I have already connected the hardware, and then click Next.
05. In the Installed hardware list, click Add a new hardware device, and then click Next.
06. Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), and then click Next.
07. In the Common hardware types box, click Infrared devices, and then click Next.
Do one of the following:
01. If you do not have an installation disk for the infrared device, click the manufacturer of the device in the
Manufacturer list, click the infrared device that best matches your hardware in the Infrared Device list, and then click
Next.
02. If you have a manufacturer's installation disk for a compatible driver, click Have Disk. Insert the manufacturer's
installation disk into the appropriate drive, and then click Next.
Follow the instructions that are displayed on the remaining pages of the Add Hardware Wizard to install the infrared
device.
View the Properties of an Infrared Device
To use this procedure, there must be an infrared device installed on your computer. Note that the settings for the
infrared device are configured automatically when you install the device, and typically do not have to be changed. To
view the properties of an infrared device:
01. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Wireless Link.
02. Click the Hardware tab, click the infrared device for which you want to view properties, and then click Properties.
Configure a Serial Port for Infrared Communication
Your computer must support an infrared mode for a serial port. Use this procedure to install an IrDA transceiver that
is provided by the computer manufacturer. To configure a serial port for infrared communication:
01. Start the BIOS configuration utility for your computer. Note that the method for starting the BIOS configuration
utility varies from one computer to another. For many computers, you can start the BIOS configuration utility by
pressing a function key that is indicated during the computer startup process. Some computers require that you start
by using special configuration disks. For more information about how to enter BIOS Setup, see your computer
manufacturer's documentation.
02. In the peripheral or serial port configuration section, change the mode to IrDA or Infrared.
Troubleshooting
Installing an IrDA transceiver disables the serial port. Do not attach a serial IrDA transceiver to a serial port.

Downloading & Installing Java Files.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Java files can be a bit tricky at times. Most of the time, after you have downloaded and saved the java file on your pc,
windows tend to change the icon & extension of the file into a .zip.
And this will led to those not familiar with this issue to extract the file. Once that is done, you will see a lot of folders
and files. This is not the right way but ofcourse theres a way to get around this. Heres what you should do instead;
First, on your PCs, launch Windows Explorer and then select
Tools>Folder Options>View and "un-tick" the Hide extensions for known file type.
Now only can you see the full extension of a file and change the .zip into .jar and send it to your phone.

Repairing A Corruptted MMC.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Correct Treatment of your MMC:
Physically, memory cards are quite fragile pieces of high technology, susceptible to damage from various silly things
like excessive heat, condensation, strong magnetic fields, physical damage from rough handling and/or bending!
(similar to most electronic devices then..)
Given the natue of mobile memory card products, they are constantly being taken in and out of some form of
interface with a mobile phone, a camera, a laptop, or desktop PC, or a separate memory card reader. The number of
different devices they have to be able to interact with is in the thousands.
It is not too surprisingly, then that sometimes the state of the file system on the memory card can get damaged.
This may happen for a number of different reasons, including:
> removing the card from a device whilst an application is trying to read/write to it.. (Just be patient...)
> battery drain on a device whilst in use meaning an insufficent voltage failure whilst writing to the card.
> a poor implementation of the MMC standard on the device using the card
> poor connectivity software drivers on the device or the Windows PC/Mac
> physical damage like card or device being dropped, bent, getting wet etc...
> lots of others i am sure..
As often as not, the problem is not terminal for your memory card, but just a software issue ( or in physical terms, it
could be called "a temporary disalignment of the all the bits and bytes on the card").
The fix for this problem is the same as for any other file storage device (like a floppy or hard drive) with corrupt or
invalid file system, namely; re-format the file system.
Re-Formatting your MobyMemory MMC Card:
It is possible that your mobile will offer you the option of formatting the memory card if it is found to be invalid.
(However, the likes of Nokia nGage, Nokia 6600, and Siemens Sx1 often just prefer to reject the media as corrupted).
In that case, to format the card, you will need access to one or more of the following:
> A Windows PC or Mac.
> A separate multi-format memory card reader (verify that it is compatible with the MultiMediaCard -MMC- standard).
> (This can come in USB or PCMCIA flavours. If USB, try and ensutre it is a USB2 device.
> Alternatively, many of the newest laptop and desktop PCs now come with integrated Multi-format memory card
readers.
> If you are using a separate memory card reader, then connect it up to your PC, and let windows recgnize the
device through plug-and-play.
Now you can insert your MobyMemory card into the appropriate slot in the memory card reader. (Please note that
because the MMC card is pretty much symmetrical it is very easy to insert it upside-down in the slot).
Open up [Windows Explorer] (or the equivalent for MAC users..sorry not well-versed in OS X).
There should be at least one icon visible for a [Removable Drive] in the list of available drives. (in fact, there is often a
list of about 5 or 6 Removable drives, one for each of the different Memory card formats that your reader is
compatible with).
Find the drive that is mapped to the MMC card by clicking on each in turn until it confirms there is a drive present.
(Sometimes it is easiest to do this by trying a fully-functional MMC card in the MMC slot first so you can confirm which
drive letter it is.)
(NB. It will always be labelled as a [Removable Drive], don't mistake it for one of your PC hard drives like [C:] drive, as
that could be catastrophic later on!)
At this stage it may give an error message saying that the drive is unreadable.
By right-clicking on the drive letter, it will provide the option of formatting the drive.
Select format the drive, and the [Format Drive] dialog will appear (Double-check again to make sure it not your [C:]
drive!).
There is only one setting to focus on in this page, and that is to ensure that the FileSystem selected for formatting is
the [FAT] option (not FAT32, or NTFS or any other option)
(Note: All mobile phones, to my knowledge, and most cameras (etc..) use the FAT file system (or at least are
compatible with it) on their memory card media.)
Now click on Format Now ( ensure [Quick Format] is not selected as this will not actually restore the file system space
byte by byte, but only resets the header information so the drive thinks its empty again. This may not be enought to
solve your corruption problem.)
The PC will now - hopefully!- chug away happily until it has restored the memory card space back to its original
configuration (of course, any information on there is long gone by now!).
If you recieve an error message back from the [Format Now] request, then your problem may be more permanent,
and not just a software issue. In this case, it may still respond to a format request in a different memory card reader
or device.
If you believe it to be a failure of manufacture, then the warranty on the card offers the prospect of a replacement
card, subject to a confirmation of the fault upon return of the goods.
