USB Irda. Transferring photos from Nokia 6020

Hi,

I am trying to transfer some pictures from a Nokia 6020 to my PC using a
Irda dongle as sold by Maplin:

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...a=irda&doy=9m6

The problem is I cannot find the drivers needed for the dongle anywhere,
there is no model on it it just says: USB-IrDA CE FC 5Vdc 440mA. Anyone know
where I can get the drivers?

Thanks.

It says 'supplied with software and cable' so didn't you get a CD or
something with the dongle?
Failing that, what operating system is on your computer?
Once the dongle has been plugged into the computer, if you can find it in
the hardware manager, you may be able to get some more information as to the
make/model...

I did but it was a long time ago and the CD has now been misplaced.

Windows 2000.

When I plug it in it goes to look for drivers but fails when it can't find
any.

There is some stupid interoperability problem with Win XP.

The easiest thing is probably to just buy a new dongle. You can get one for
about a fiver!
