Hi James,

I'm having a similar issue too now.

I've just switched one of my machines over to Windows Server 2003 which
doe=
sn't have the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.  So my Bluetooth adapter is
instal=
led now with the Widcom drivers, but I don't think that the Bluetooth
libra=
ry that you are using (btframework.ocx) supports it (I get "error
accessing=
bluetooth radio").

When the machine was originally running Windows XP I had the same issue
usi=
ng the Widcom drivers, but swapping to the Microsoft Bluetooth stack then
w=
orked fine.

I see though that there's now an updated library under the name of
"Wireles=
s Communications Library" which supposedly supports a much wider range
of B=
luetooth stacks?

Is it possible for you to switch to the newer library?


Cheers,

Martyn

Hi,
On my linksys device windows could use one of two drivers. the linksys on=
e and a microsoft one which seem to work better. If go through device
manag=
er and update to compatible drivers it should list the microsoft one. I
thi=
nk it was called CSR radio but I've also seen it refered to as generic.
How=
erver in may be different in win2k3. I presume there are no other
bluetooth=
radios or apps using the radios.   If there are multiple radios then you c=
an make it use the other one by selecting it in the settings file.

Hi all,

Have I done something wrong?

TIA
