Basic Jornada device drivers?

Assuming that anybody is still wading through the spam and reads this...

I'm now the proud owner of a happy little Jornada 720, and am quite
pleased with it - I've been able to connect to a dial-up service, and
the wireless card seems in working order (though I have yet to find an
unsecured WiFi access point to test it with).

However - I /am/ having one teensy little difficulty. My purchase
didn't come with any CDs or floppies; and when I plug it via USB into
my Win98SE desktop, the desktop looks for a driver, but can't find
one. Which makes it rather hard to use ActiveSync, let alone start
installing a new OS. I emailed HP's tech support, but the response
focussed on the error message involved rather than my actual problem;
the suggested solutions all started with ActiveSyncing the Jornada.

If I might ask, does anyone here know where I might find my missing driver?

(And, while I have your attention - does there exist a piece of WinCE
software which allows the Jornada's IR port to be used as a TV/VCR/etc
remote, as I once used my Palm m100 for long long ago?)


Thank you for your time,
