[shriekers]

I lost my bluetooth driver C.D. how do i install it now

[akshayc]

too simple, search for the drivers on the net (eg. driverguide.com)

too big avatar

[sreevirus]

if u r using windows xp with service pack 2 installed, u dont need additional bluetooth drivers coz bluetooth is natively supported in sp2.
but can u let us know what make ur bluetooth device is(ie WIDCOMM, TDKsystems) and also its model number(if any)?

[shriekers]

It's a WIDCOMM Device but the device does not have any name or model number written on it. My software C.D. Had Widcomm Software on it

change or resize ur avatar is tooo big it should be only 90*90 pixels!

[theraven]

well xenkatesh urs is 103*95
so i suggest u resize urs before tellin others

@shriekers and @akshayc ... widcomm does not give out drivers to end users. therefore finding them at something like driversguide.com MAY not work

so ur best bet is to download it from a company site like IBM
unfortunately u will not be able to use these without "patching" them fpr ur NON *company* (*IBM*) product

BUT FEAR NOT !!!

read the following and have fun
heres is where u can download the driers for IBM

im sorry i didnt have the time to check the links for u ... but i think the quantity ive given should suffice
enjoy!

oooo and sreevirus is right ... u CAN use the drivers from SP2
but these widcomm drivers are said to be better ... even tho they dont have their WHQL certification .. thats the only problem

[sreevirus]

well, if u r willing to experiment, u can try the bluetooth stack drivers form TDK....
http://www.tdksystems.com/download/b...toothstack.zip
i too have a widcomm dongle and got a mini cd with it...i havent tried the tdk software yet, but will sometime...and if u r going to install it, be sure to create a system restore point in case something gets screwed up.
@raven..man none of those links r workin

sorry, i wasnt able to find any links for the widcomm suite...looks like broadcom has discontinued support for widcomm devices

[shriekers]

How do i use the SP2 drivers when i plug in the device it says it is a USB device and nothing else.

About the links will try out now

[theraven]

NONE OF THE LINKS ARE WORKIN !!??
Damn !!
anyways ill download the IBM drivers and use the HEX editor and upload it i guess ... thats the only way
whoever needs it can try it too ..
im in office right now .. will go home and give it a shot

this link for IBM drivers are workin
http://www-900.ibm.com/cn/support/do...S/bthwxp1o.exe
dunno abt the others ... its a 20mb download tho so be careful
and get a nice hex editor and suggest me one to download @home !
