Unhappy

I just tried to install the irenhanc (downloaded from palm.com) on my Visor Deluxe. After the required soft reset the Visor hangs at the reset splash screen.
Anyone familiar to this?

Regards
/Jonas

If you installed all the files in the IR enhancement package, do a WARM reset (hold the UP button while pressing reset) and then remove the AMX.prc file. After removing the file, do a SOFT reset. The AMX file is NOT compatable with the Visor and causes the lockups you describe.

Thumbs up

Thanks MarkEagle for your quick reply.
But what does this mean for me really? I have an Ericsson cellphone with IR and built in modem which I want to use for remote hotsyncing and surfing with AvantGo, isn't this exactly what this AMX.prc file is for?

Needs to be updated, but you get the idea.

The way I understand it, the AMX file includes enhancements to the SerialManager code which Handspring already modified in their version of the OS. Since it's already there, adding the file causes conflicts. The FAQ for IRLink says you only need the SerialIRCommLib.prc file.

Jonsa,

MarkEagle is correct on this. You should only install the SerialIRCommLib.prc

I am using IRLink to sync with my laptop and it works fine.
