to use
in FMA you should install SP2.

or just find the bluetooth virtual com port number and put this in options/serial port within fma.
Works fine, you don't need sp2 (not for that reason anyway). SP2 bluetooth integration is native, but usually not as versatile as the OEM software, therefore I tend to think SP2 native bluetooth is overrated. It's good for basics if you don't want (or can't find) the oem software.

I agree with max, only had to add that maybe for the first time using serial port (depending on drivers) you'll have to turn on that serial connection in my bt places prior to starting connection in fma. After the 1st time, you just connect in fma.

that's correct. a serial port usually isn't enabled by default in OEM adapter software whereas it is in native xp bluetooth. You can actually run both oem and native xp bluetooth at the same time. You get a whole bunch a virtual com ports and modems then!

My problem is that oem sw (widcomm) and sp2 are not compatible. Both are installed, but when I plug in the dongle, sp2 driver recognise it first, and disables other. But sp2 is not working well with all phones I use (i.e. Motorola). So how do I override that sp2 driver if possible?

in device manager you sometimes have to change the driver from the certified xp driver to the unsigned driver of the oem. The xp bluetooth control panel will still work incidently, even using the non-microsoft driver.
Try this: go into the properties of the bluetooth radio in device manager and select drivers/update. Select not to search windows update, install from a specific location, then "don't search, i wil choose a driver to install". You will then get a list, choose the non-microsoft or non-generic driver. It may say driver is unsigned, say yes to use anyway.
try that..

Tried everything in device manager already- update, roll back, deinstall, disable, none works. I heard you can delete a file in WINDOWS dir to solve it, but don't know how. I would download recent driver, but don't know where. My bt manufacturer is 'Cambrige Silicon Radio'? Tricky, ain't it? :-)

Yeah, but if you just install it, the Microsoft version will be used. This is because windows kicks in and installs the driver before you even insert your adapters driver cd.
So even though you install the adapters driver, it is never "set" as the default. You need to manually change the driver that windows uses from the microsoft one to the driver for your adapter.
I've used the widcomm software with my dlink dbt120 and it works fine

Hello!
I have a Sony Ericsson T610 for almost 9 months. I've been using a cable to connect my phone to the pc (fma).
Today I bought a Bluetooth USB Dongle. I managed to make it work, trough the software dellivered whit the bluetooth adaptor(Blue Soleil). But the fma cannot connect via bluetooth. it simpley does... nothing, like it wouldn't even be there.
What can i do to make the fma connect trough bluetooth?
Are there any drivers that i could use?

I've been working on this problem and now the bluetooth connection works. The Fma is stil not orking after configuring all options.
After I connect the phone to the computer via bluetooth (BlueSoleil) i try to connect float's.
A bubble in the right low corner (from the fma) tells me that "Your device is not supported by current Windows drivers. Install or update your driers and try again".
Can anybody tell me what software to use for my usb dongle? I tryed the windows usal installing but i don't even have "bluetooth" menu in the control pannel.
I need sonting to replace BlueSoleil.
Thank you!
*I have win xp sp2 and the latest fma
