Hi,
Could you give this a go
http://www.mi4.biz/files/blue/xapbluewidcommdll.zip
Unzip and place it in system32.  I don't think it needs registering  but
it cant hurt.  In theory it should allow the bluetooth framework to use
the widcom stack under 2k3.
The theory part is that I don't have a 2k3 box to test this, only a
virtual one and that cant access the bluetooth hardware at all!

Hi,
<div>On my linksys device windows could use one of two drivers. the
linksys one and a microsoft one which seem to work better. If go
through device manager and update to compatible drivers it should list
the microsoft one. I think it was called CSR radio but I've also seen
it refered to as generic. Howerver in may be different in win2k3. I
presume there are no other bluetooth radios or apps using the radios.
&nbsp;
If there are multiple radios then you can make it use the other one by
selecting it in the settings file.</div>
