NOTE: The information in this article applies to the Traditional Chinese, Greek, and Brazilian version%3 of Windows Millennium Edition.



SYMPTOMS
When you configure the transceiver type for certain infrared (IR) devices, you may not be able to select the Vishay E-series IR transceiver. This issue occurs only with the Traditional Chinese-language, Greek-language, and Brazilian-language versions of Windows Millennium Edition (Me).



CAUSE
This issue occurs because of a problem with the text string that the INF file contains.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, when you specify the IR transceiver in the Traditional Chinese-language, Greek-language, or Brazilian-language version of Windows Me, select the &quot;Vishay TFDS-6500&quot; for the Vishay E-series transceiver. To configure the transceiver type:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click the Network icon
 * 3) Click the infrared adapter in the list of networking components, and then click Properties.
 * 4) Click the Advanced Tab, and then change the value for the transceiver to &quot;Vishay TFDS-6500.&quot;



MORE INFORMATION
The correct entry, &quot;Vishay TFDS-6101E/6501E,&quot; is listed in the transceiver types in all other versions of Windows Me. Because this issue is the result of a problem with the text string that the INF file contains, this issue does not have any effect on the functionality of the driver.
