2. Click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel and double click the "Wireless Link" icon.
3. In the "Image transfer" tab, uncheck the box for "Use Wireless Link to transfer images from a digital camera to your computer".
4. Disable any other application you use that opens the IR port.

You can now synchronize via IR.
