I had exactly the same problem under Windows XP SP2, in that using EasyGPRS and an infra-red connection to connect with my Samsung C100 wouldn't work, whereas it had done previously under Windows XP SP1.
I downloaded the IRComm2k software from http://www.ircomm2k.de/
and have found it to now work perfectly.
Download the IRcomm2k software, extract the .zip and run the setup.exe file. It'll ask you what port to choose, it doesn't matter really what you choose, but I chose COM4. The setup continues, flashes up a "Are you really sure you want to install this driver" type message for the "Virtual IR COM Port" - click "Continue" to carry on, it's not dangerous, it's just a driver that hasn't been checked by Microsoft. Once the install is over, open EasyGPRS, go to File > Setup, and change the Port to the new port you've create (i.e. in my case COM4)
Press OK, and reload EasyGPRS.
Switch on IRDA on the phone - (Phone Settings, Infrared activate) and move the phone towards your IRDA port. EasyGPRS should pick up the phone and begin downloading your phonebook, messages and calls.
When you then go into GPRSWizard (those of you using your phones to connect your computer to the Internet), the program will complain that the EasyGPRS modem driver cannot be found. Add a new modem - select "I will choose from a list", go to "select the driver to install" and choose Samsung from the left hand side and double click SAMSUNG GPRS modem on the right. Select the modem driver to be installed onto the new COM port you've made and press OK. Then go into the Setup on GPRS Wizard, click on Modem and select the Samsung GPRS Modem, then press Select. Press Select again, then Exit and restart GPRSWizard. Can't guarantee this last bit works entirely as I get a PPP error when I connect to the GPRS service, but I've always had that, so I can't really help any more.
Hope this helps some of you.
