IrCOMM for Nokia 8210

[Lee]

When trying to 'setup' PC-Suite for 8210 I receive a
message telling me that I must update IRCOMM to do this I
must download it from http.support.microsoft.com. When I
go to the website and search for IRCOMM, IrCOMM or IrDa I
find nothing. Anyone know how to get this update?

Regards

Lee.

The IrCOMM Modem support was only added to Windows 2000 as a patch and then
was included in latter service packs. Windows XP has this support 'out of
the box'. So I think the Nokia software is making (the incorrect)
assumption that you are installing on original Windows 2000. Either ignore
it, or maybe better--as Mary suggested--see if a newer version is more
knowledgeable.
