Hello,
I have a SigmaTel IrDA USB adapter and have previously just plugged it in and let win98se try to search the necessary files for installation. I have recently learnt that this is not the right way, although the IrDA dongle actually works as expected, as in allowing me to connect my cell phone to the PC. I first remove the Infrared device from the Device Manager. Then I tried to uninstall the SigmaTel IrDA adapter from the Add/Remove Program. However, the uninstallation would stop after around 8%. Then I pressed ctrl-alt-del to end the process. When I tried to dismiss the Add/Remove Program, there was no response. So I pressed ctrl-alt-del again. This time, an Ikernel showed up in the task list and it was not responding. So I selected it and ended it. Then another dialog box came up: Title: SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter Message: Setup fails to run: Remote procedure call fails. It is always this whenever I try to uninstall it again. When I tried to run the setup program from the CD, it still asked me if I wanted to uninstall, rather than letting me installing it over the original files. Any way to either: 1. enable me to uninstall the files; or 2. just to install the files over those already installed previously. Thanks in advance Herbert |

You probably need to install the latest MS installation program.

I am using win98se. And I actually think that I can still install and
uninstall other programs. Only the uninstallation of this IrDA USB Adapter is causing me headaches. So according to below, I should just delete the folder that holds the installshield files?? Will this affect other install/uninstall programs? TIA Herbert "H Leboeuf" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g... You probably need to install the latest MS installation program.

Hello,
I have this idea: So I have this "SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter" on the Add/Remove Program list. If I'm able to remove this entry from the list, and to fool the setup program that accompanies the dongle not to know that I have previously installed it, although in an improper way, before, I may then be able to proceed with the installation. Is this possible and how should I go about it? Thanks in advance. Herbert "Herbert Chan" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g... I am using win98se.

I do not know anything about "SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter".
Can you not just disable it in the start up or in your tasks lists? Run MSCONFIG from the start/run applet and look under "StartUp tab" see is you can disable it from there. Then if all is ok set it up again. -- Henri Leboeuf Web page: http://www.colba.net/~hlebo49/index.htm === "Herbert Chan" wrote in message ...

It may actually be just some unnecessary insistence of mine.
I've before been able to use the Infrared dongle, but I recently read the manual on the CD accompanying the dongle and found out that I haven't installed it the right way, which was to run the setup first before plugging in the dongle. I have plugged it in and let win98se search for the necessary files. So I now want to uninstall it and reinstall it in the proper way. If I can't find a way to remove it, I may just plug it in and let win98se install it again. Herbert "H Leboeuf" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g... I do not know anything about "SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter".

I've solved it. I've used the Add Remove Plus! 2004 to remove the entry from
the Add/Remove Program list and I was then able to proceed with the installation. However, it was actually a non-problem as I found nothing different from when I've installed the dongle in the "improper" way. Anyway, thanks. Herbert "Herbert Chan" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g...
