Hey guys,does anyone knows anything about this?
After the installation of the Trust bt180 dongle everything works fine.But when i shut off the pc and later i shut it on i have the bluetooth icon on the desktop but not on the tray on the right bottom of the screen.When i double click on the bluetooth icon on the desktop,istead of the bluetooth window with the "find device","entire neighbourhood" and the rest of the icons,internet explorer opens with "no page found".This thing doesn't occur when i restart the pc.To make the dongle operational again i have to uninstall the device and then reinstall it,after each time the problem occurs.I'm on Win Me.
Any ideas anyone?

My advice is to download the Widcomm driver and use that instead of whatever drivers you are currently using.

Download the latest WIDCOMM drivers from IBM or MSI and then use the patcher found on the link below to enable you to use these drivers on devices other than the ones they were intended for. WIDCOMM drivers are very good, especially compared to XPSP2's drivers.

If you are using Windows XP SP2 then this post will assist:
