    Hi,

    I've got a standard D520. I don't have the original image on the machine, my work reimage them.

    I can't see any infrared options so guess they where not on the standard XP image used. How can I install this? I can't see any drivers to download and there are now yellow ! in control panel>device manager?

    Many Thanks
    Lou

    As far as I know you just need to load the chipset driver and include the system utilities, that should do the work, because IR is integrated.

    So if you want to send a file via infrared, should there be an option via Right Click, Send to?

    Thanks

    I've updates the chipset and bios but still can't find the IR anywhere in XP?

    thanks
