IPaq / ActiveSync:COM-Port IR issue

When installing ActiveSync 3.5 on my computer I set up synchronisation with my IPaq using USB and Infra-Red.

Whenever I boot my PC (the IPaq is not in the USB cradle) I now receive a message saying:
"The COM Port cannot be opened. To avoide seeing this message again, disconnect the com port. If you disconnect the com port you won't be able to sync using com port or Infra-red".

I click "NO". Next time I want to InfraRed sync I must go to "Connection Settings" in ActiveSync and click "Get Connected" to serach for the IPaq InfraRed signal.

This was not the case when using ActiveSync 3.1 before.

Has anyone come across this problem?

remember to right click the sync button on the task menu, and click connection settings, choose connect via infrared, not com 1
