I had so much trouble trying to get my Motorola Bluetooth dongle and it's associated Widcomm Software/Drivers to install - so that I could use my Moto Bluetooth Headset with my PC for internet phone calls etc. - despite compatibility mode etc. only partial installation happened and right through Windows kept trying to install it's own drivers which I didn't want....anyway.... I uninstalled all that, did a registry cleanup and think that I removed more than just the Widcomm stuff.
Now I can't use my Microsoft Bluetooth dongle at all in Vista, although the system sees it and installs the drivers. When I try to install Intellitype/point 6.1, the software installs then when the bluetooth connection wizard opens up and I try to install either the mouse or keyboard it says it's installing but there are no accompanying balloons appearing on the taskbar. Instead a window asking me to locate the software as Windows can't find it...grrrrr. Needless to say the mouse and keyboard don't work.
At least I have them still OK in XP.
Can't use System Restore - Vista's doesn't exist in a dual-boot with XP as XP wipes it out everytime you boot back into XP.
VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!!! :evil:![Rage :rage: :rage:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
