sorry bout the post with no content....here is the problem:

I have Windows XP professional on a Dell Notebook with IR. I also have a Palm Zire 71 PDA. To allow hotsync to occur between the notebook and the computer, I have switched off the image transfer function in control panel and also removed the IR printer that was installed to try and address the error "IR port in use by another application" which is preventing hotsync. I have also undertaken the procedure in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 278277 to ensure that the displayed state and the actual state of the image transfer feature are aligned. I still have the problem. I would note that the IR function works fine just transferring files to the handheld, it is only the hotsynch operation that appears to be the problem. Hotsync works fine over the USB connection. My guess is that there is some other program or process utilising the IR port...how would I find out?
