There are bluetooth drivers included with Windows XP SP2 however if these do not work its likely you require the Widcomm drivers which can be downloadedfrom the following URL... if these do not work you will have to provide me with more information regarding your bluetooth device

When I bought my first BT dongle (cheapo tenner one off ebay ) it came with a mini-CD with some "BlueSolei" software. It was complete tosh, and kept fucking my PC up

I binned that, bought a better device, which when fitted, was auto installed using the MS drivers. Worked fine, but didn't like the interface too much. Then got hold of the Widcomm stack, and been using it ever since.... I'll try and email it to you, not sure if GMail will let me tho cos it is an exe... Post your email addy up and I'll have a go tho
