Right, after the longest time (EssexBoyRacer will remember ) I got a bluetooth dongle to work on my PC using a Widcomm stack (the MS stack is shit) and all is good....

However, I've run out of USB2 slots on the back of the PC so I want to move the dongle to the front USB slot. Which I just did, but it isn't working as I want it to. It's running on the MS Stack and it won't let me run on the Widcomm stack, and the original BT icon in the task bar shows as not connected, but My BT places won't allow a search for a new device

How do I make the original set up recognise the dongle has moved to a new USB location? And it all work as it did before? I've just put the dongle back in the rear USB and straight away it's working fine....

 

Does the port actually work mate?

 

Front USB's are notoriously shit as they don't supply enough power for some peripheral devices, i'd put it down to that

 

It does work yeah, I've transferred pics from my camera from it before... It's only 1.1 spec mind...

I don't think it's down to power, i think it's more down to I can't remember how to point it to the WIDCOMM drivers and make it ignore the MS drivers
