Infrared beam fails

[jy1]

Hi All,

Well this use to work but now it just fails. I am trying to beam a picture via infrared from my Mogul to my laptop and it fails. My laptop computer name shows up and it says tap to send but after about 20 seconds it comes up failed. I have tried with the box under settings, communications, receive all incoming beams checked and unchecked but still no luck. HTC says do a hard reset but I resist that lengthly mess. Any ideas? I need the infrared to communicate with lockboxes and that also fails. Is there a registry hack that might fix this? Since the Mogul will see the name of my laptop when I put it next to it to try to start a file transfer is must be kind of working but it's like the laptop or lockbox does not see the mogul.

Suggestions appreciated

As a follow on, I have looked through the registry under irda and infrared. There are a few settings so If anyone could post what their working IR settings are that would be greatly appreciated and I can give them a try.

Post what your registry directory paths are so I can look and see what the settings are. Also, I know if Im more than a few inches away from the other device and not perfectly lined up, it will fail.

Thanks for your help, here is what I found.

Registry search under infrared finds;

hkcu/comm/Rasbook/'infrared port
it has 2 entries with lots of numbers mostly 00's
Devcfg has as reg_binary
30 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 10 01 00
00 00 48 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
the 0 pattern repeats 60 lines

the other value Entry is also reg_binary

Whew! That was the big one, the rest are easy. There are a few listings for Default connections in HKLM/ comm but no entries.



hklm/drivers/nuiltin/ircomm/unimidem has
devconfig with the reg_bibary

00 00 48 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00

I found some other entries for generic infrared modem and other items but I think the problem may be in one of these. I had issues with GPS a while back and someone posted their registry entries and that fixed the gps problem for me.
