I never said it was the only way to do it.

'do i need to install the msi version 15 first? can't i just skip that and install the tecomm version 16?'

To be honest I dont know. I tried it like that first, and the darn thing didnt work.

Then I tried what I described above, and it worked. Go figure.

I think it's fair to say that eveyone will encounter problems setting up everything they want to do. It took me a few days to get everything working and I was going mental as I am sure a few of you have. My tips really point to the differences between drivers and software. You may find that depending on your set-up and possibly what mood your pc is in at the time that things need to be installed in different orders. You really just have to be persistent and patient.
I hope some of my tips have been of use though as I am sure other peoples have.

I know its a silly question, but is yours an MSI bluetooth adaptor?

Otherwise, make sure it is plugged in properly. It should be double flashing if the drivers are installed, or single flashing if not installed.

U dont to have the msi ver15 installed in your pc inorder to get it to work. Try this in order: 1. Download tecom version 16 and install it in your pc and restart 2. When your pc detects new usb hardware, go to device manager and use the driver that came with your bluetooth adapter. It can be either found in the cd that came with your adapter or at your manufactuer wedsite 3. Aftr u have installed driver, restart your pc 4. Then try pairing your phone and pc Thats how i got my billionton adapter to work

Just tried to download the Tecomm driver from:

http://www.tecomproduct.com/asp/download.asp?id=164

It's 16+Mb, their download server seems incredibly slloooww, and then after I'd got about 15% of it (took about 30 mins) I got a "Download Halted - Server Reset" message!!
Anybody know of an alternative or mirror site for this?
