rename the folder B9F-499B8-D1F0-42FC-84BE-CC552123CCCB to something else. manually delete the bluesoleil folder and the registry reference and it should install fine.

Not very sure whether I understood your problem correctly, but I guess you couldn't install the BT dongle s/w properly ?

Win XP will detect that BT dongle automatically, no drivers needed . For other OS ,

One solution is if you can install SP2 in your PC cos drivers are auto-detected by Windows XP SP2. I am guessing SP2 isn't installed as you haven't mentioned about it.
If you suspect hardware problems solution is simple
If the light on bluetooth dongles comes on its working perfectly well.
And if you detect anything wrong with USB port you can connect any other USB device to that port and check.

Thanks tech u r future,,,,

my os is xpsp2 i didnt mentioned that in past replies thats my mistake and now i have installed drivers properly but i think problem is with dongle becoz like past its not blinking now and usb ports are fine becoz usb scanner working properly

i think its time to replace dongle now,,,,,but just 2 months ago i purchased this so i thought it will not expire soon,,,,,

suggest me nice bluetooth dongle,,,current one was,,,BLUESOLEIL,,,,

thanks

The bluetooth dongle you used was an unbranded one. Bluesoliel is only the name of the software.
Unbranded ones are generally unreliable. They may or may not work. Mine is working fine for well over 6 months and its an unbranded one. I guess you were out of luck there. Now, for your new dongle you can go for branded one but that will cost a lot more. Unbranded one will be cheap but no guarantee on how much will they last. For some people it has lasted over 2 years. So, do think about it and make your choice to either go for a branded one or an unbranded one.
Before buying just make sure that your dongle surely isn't working by trying it out at some other computer just in case. These things sometimes behave erratically.

That's good and hopefully this one runs for a long time.
I myself was under the same delusion about bluesoliel and came to know about it on the forums itself :-).
So, I suppose everything's working fine now.

i've been using the orchid brand since an year widout any problems till now...touch wood!

actually orchid just prints its name on the dongle, the manufacturer is someone else. you can see the manufacturer in the hardware properties window.
