Hi All
I installed a USB BT dongle on a Win98 laptop. The s/w it came with didnt work properly so I used the MSI BT software and it worked perfectly - could share files, activesync with my ipaq, connect to GPRS using my mobile etc etc
I now have a new laptop with Win2k and hen I installed the dongle and s/w on this it intially seemed to work. However although it discovered my Z600, it would not discover the ipaq. So I did the sensible thing and restarted the laptop and the ipaq. However when the laptop restarted, it could not detect the dongle.
Now despite restarts, remove/replug dongle, it is not picked up at all. When plugged in, Win2K recognises the USB device but the bluetooth software cannot detect it.
After searching on google, it seems there are issues with moving between PCs, but I want to reset the dongle somehow so I can use it on my new laptop only and not the old one. Can anyone please help as this is driving me crazy!
Thanks. |

you need to find yourself a new and better driver for the w2k machine.. that's what it sounds like.. driver trouble |

Anyone suggest a location for drivers for a USB BT dongle for win 2k??? I am not sure if it is drivers because I downloaded the latest version of MSI which supports Win 2k, but I am willing to try!
