Your infrared software has encountered an internal error. Check the infrared device's software configuration under Network Properties. If it is an external or removable device, check the connection. Then restart Windows.

Also this behavior can occur if the Fast Infrared Protocol is missing or damaged.

To resolve this behavior, remove and then reinstall the Fast Infrared Protocol. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Network.
3. In the list of installed network components, click Fast Infrared Protocol, and then click Remove.
4. Restart your computer when you are prompted to do so.
5. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
6. Double-click Network.
7. On the Configuration tab, click Add.
8. Click Protocol, and then click Add.
9. In the Manufactures box, click Microsoft, click Fast Infrared Protocol in the Network Protocols box, and then click OK.
10. Click OK, and then restart your computer when you are prompted to do so.

Run the System File Checker

Go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:

sfc /scannow ( sfc if not reconized)

This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem. You will need your Windows cd.

If this does not resolve your issue you can try a Repair Install. With Windows 98 booted in normal mode, place the Windows 98 cd in the cd-rom and proceed to install. You will not lose any of your personal information performing this type of install.
