This latest version of 1903 again lacks infrared support. The Polar heart rate monitor RC 800 requires support. There is also no icon in the control panel. The same problem had long been in the older version where it was repaired. Now we had to return to the previous version 1809 ? Hawe ?That newy conegtions is live ?

It may not be built in any more but third party drivers/software should work provided they support the OS.

Hi Thank you for your reply that I doubt that when a program has a marginal user group, it is not actually developed / actually supported in the new versions, so I took this out if someone had explored the option. however, thanks for the information. Rapaaja
