Hi,

Been a while since i've been in ESATO. On my laptop I had widcomm drivers installed for my BT dongle but it would consistently crash with a Virtual C++ runtime error.

I now have a brand new PC and am still getting the same problems. If its any help when i shutdown I get a BT Stack Server not responding message. I'm not sure if that is the Widcomm Stack or the MS stack. Am i still getting conflicts?

Trust me I have scoured Google and Esato for anyone who has also experienced this, sorry for new topic.

Anybody else had a smiliar problem? Assistance greatly appreciated...

Thanks

HP

I had this same problem & I ended up uninstalling the Widcomm drivers completely and letting XP handle my bluetooth dongle. Its a bit different and doesn't give you all the nice bits that the Widcomm drivers did but it works.

Hi guys,

Here is what I did to install Widcomm drivers:
- rename/delete all file bth*.* from %windir%\inf
- disable Bluetooth Service Support
- install Widcomm drivers
- restart laptop

And all works perfectly.
