driver then it successfull.It appear in my 'system'
hardware the devise is working. Then I try to install
nokia pc suite 5.1 compatible with winxp since I use win
xp. I downloaded from nokia homepage.

At first the installation is complete then it require to
restart windows. So it restart then I try the 'nokia
connection manager' click to infra red button. I also put
my nokia(7250) in right direction and start infra red
connectivity. The problem arise.. IT appear "Irsocket
API caused an error"warning. And my nokia phone cannot
interact with my pc.

It is my windows is corrupt? why is this happen. I try

You need to set Irda to 38.400 bps and it will work!

Zach,

I also recently bought a SigmaTel USB IrDA adapter and could not get
it to work with Nokia PC Suite 5.1 with my new Nokia 5100. I found
that the problem for me was that XP (Home) had used the default
settings in Device Manager for the SigmaTel adapter. Once I selected
properties for this adapter and went into the Advanced tab I could see
that it had selected the "Infrared Transceiver Type" as the
"Infineon(Default)". I changed this to SigmaTel 4000 and everything
then worked OK with Nokia PC Suite. I left the default speed as
"4000000(Default)".

I hope that this may help with your problem.
