you use the widcomm drivers? I think the problem is with the bluetooth implementation of the K750. I used to have a K700 and everything worked fine. Now i cannot start the remote from the phone. I can start the remote from the PC though. What use is that? Come on SE sort it out. It was working fine in the K700 why change it?

So....

Is it SE or Microsoft or the Dongle thats failing here? (or maybe all 3?)

Does anybody have XP sp2 with a K750i with the Remote Control function working?

I don't really have any need to use it to be honest, just my curiousity!

definitely SE i this case. As i have said, i have a K700 as well and that works absolutely fine. Therefore must be the BT in the K750 thats the problem.

Works great for me with Win XP, but I had to start the service from my PC the first time to install the HID on PC.

thats why i asked if you have widcomm drivers. I don't know if you can connect via the PC using XP SP2 drivers. If you are using WIDCOMMs, just hightlight your phone in "my bluetooth places" icon and you should find a "mouse & keyboard" icon. Double click on that and remote pc should work.

Klorin, can you start the remote from your phone now? I still can't

I don't have the wincomm drivers. Just the windows default one. But I went to Control Panel>Bluetooth>Highlighted k750i and clicked on properties and checked the HID option. Had to reboot and...

... still nothing

How do I install wincomm for the belking usb dongle - or do I not?

I did as bolo shows on his screenshot there..

First I opened Bluetooth, searched for devices in range, found the K750i and browsed the services available on the phone. Then I doubleclicked the icon that bolo was posting a screenshot of here and it connected.. phone worked as remote-control.

Then I disconnected again and tried connecting from phone and it worked.

I did this yesterday and I tried again now from the phone without doing anything on the PC and it worked at once. I am using the desktop-control from the phone, havent tried media-player and that stuff.

I use the WIDCOMM drivers.

I've never seen that kind of screen in my life, i don't even think that 'my bluetooth places' appears on my drive listing.... I only get it down at the clock - i can't be sure tho, since i'm at work at the mo..But ill be sure to have a root about later on!

Cheers
