Bluetooth

I have a belkin usb bluetooth adapter I can install it but windows mobile
centre wont pick it up as a bluetooth device? I have tried everything I have
downloaded the drivers again, uninstalled mobile centre, re-installed mobile
centre and it wont let me finish the install as it keeps looking for the
device. still no luck. I dont know what its playing at I am finding it really
irritating. Please help someone.
Thanks,
Justin

Re: Bluetooth

Did you install the drivers? Vista Bluetooth only supports keyboards and
mouses. The dongle will be recognized with the native drivers but that
doesn't mean that your device will function fully. It may be the WMDC is
looking for your phone to pair with and not finding one won't install?
Don't have that problem yet but that's my understanding.

And serial ports -- My PDA works just fine with my Bluetooth adapter
without any additional bluetooth drivers.

Insert something clever here.

I bought a "Bluetooth USB Dongle" and the CD that came with the
product do not support Vista. Is there any Driver that I can get to
install the dongle?
Please help.

Re: Bluetooth

Have you visited the manufacturers' website to see if they have a Vista
driver?
