I am trying to install Palm Desktop 3.03 on a ThinkPad 240 with the goal of
being able to Hotsync via IR. I am finding this to be tricky.  First of all,
Desktop will not install.  The install starts, but just after selecting the
serial port (Comm 1) for Hotsync (no cradle attached), it causes my PC to
reboot.

I've read that I may need to use ThinkPad Configuration to disable the IR
port before installing Desktop.  If I do so, can I re-enable it afterwards
and use it for Hotsync?  (I don't want to use a cradle.)

If you have had success with this kind of configuration, will you post a
reply and tell me how you did it?  Thanks.
