What is procedure for computer formatting and reinstalling in windows XP?
Pretty simple really, just put in the XP CD and boot from it.
In some cases you may have to go into the BIOS menu (or setup menu as its sometimes called) and change the boot sequence to boot from CD first. The process of entering the BIOS menu changes from maker to maker, generally youll hit F2 F10 or delete during the startup process.
Once you've gotten your system to boot from the XP CD, just follow the on-screen instructions, its pretty straightforward.
Note: When you get to the format stage, if you decide to format the hard drive always pick the quick format, the not-quick format can take HOURS & isn't any better really.

Software that helps the computer communicate with a particular device?
A "driver" is a small program which enables software to talk to hardware. Anytime you install a printer, digital camera, sound card or video card, joystick or any other peripheral, you would need to install a driver to enable both Windows, and the software which will use the hardware, to communicate to it. Windows often comes bundled with generic drivers for printers, cameras...etc, however a CD usually is packaged with the hardware which should be used.
Any bidirectional communication channel or link between two or more computers fits into this category. This can be Ethernet port (wired or wireless) directly connected between two machines or associated switch or router which allows more connections to same network. Similarly other wired or wireless serial connections (like serial ports, USB, Bluetooth, Infrared) between computers can also send and receive data instructions and information between computers.
Actually the answer to this question is communication device, stated in the book: Microsoft Office 2007 Introductory Concepts and Techniques
Where is the computer IR port located on a computer?
the ir port on a computer looks like a small smoked glass window a lot of lap tops have these but they might not have infrared installed if you go to control panel you should see if you have it installed
Some computers will have an IR controller integrated in to the motherboard, but not the actual IR port. The computer will still think that you have an IR port and therefor it will display it as an option for communication. If this is the case, you should be able to buy an IR port and install it on your computer.
Infared networking was typically used to create wireless networks in offices and required line of sight to the IR hub (typically mounted on a ceiling). It has been replaced by the 802.11 standard in favor of its larger bandwidth, ease of implementation and its ability to transmit through objects.
