I've got a Belkin Bluetooth and can't use the Remote Control function in my V800. I get the message "connection thru bluetooth failed". Transfer files between the phone and my pc works fine but not the remote controll function.

Your Bluetooth hardware needs to support the HID profile. It's a native profile in Windows XP SP1 and SP2. Most BT suites take over the control and if they do not support HID profile it doesn't work. In that case you can switch to the native Windows driver by selecting an alternative driver in the profile manager.

Many BT dongles are now supported by the windows drivers.

I read somewere that the widcomm driver must be 1.4 or >. Older versions doesn't support HID. My current driver version is 1.2... I downloaded the newest version of the software for my bluetooth device from belkins homepage but the widcomm drivers that come along with that were only the 1.2 version. Where can I find a newer version of the Widomm driver for my bluetooth device?
