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.
