Oh man where to even begin??

Firstly I have had bluetooth working on my laptop. I have got it to work with my Palm Zire 72 (Bluetooth LAN, Hotsyncing, everything!) and I have gotten it to work with my Nokia 6230 (FW 5.24 and Nokia Pc Suite 6.41) (Synchronization, PuppetMaster, all the good stuff). BUT! Never at the same time!!!

I could only get my system to work with one or the other. So either the Palm worked and the Nokia didn't or vice versa. I'm not talking about simultaneously either. I have an inkling this is because I needed to create more Bluetooth Serial Ports?

Now however after uninstalling and re-installing the WIDCOMM 1.4.2.11 (Build 10) drivers, that came with my Belkin F8T003 USB Bluetooth Adapter, umpteen times I can no longer create Bluetooth Serial Ports in either Local Services or Client Applications. When I do, System Properties is invoked then a dialog box with the Printer and other hardware icon in the top left of the screen comes up saying:
"Please wait while Windows installs software for your device..."
and then nothing, no new Serial Port. As I said this did at one point work for me earlier on in my journey into the hellish world of bluetooth.

Also when my Windows XP SP2 starts, System Properties is invoked each time and the same installation procedure happens. That is really annoying and never used happen.

Now in my dredging through forums all over the internet of which this forum seems to be one of the best ;) I have tried many different solutions including going into Device Manager after including the Shown nonpresent devices into its system variables and have deleted things that had exclamation marks next to them thinking they were the extra virtual ports created in my multiple installs. Things like Parport and Serial.

I have also deleted a number of inf files in my Windows Inf folder that started with bt in the hopes of removing Bluetooth support from Windows XP SP2 as in an article on the Microsoft site, I have changed the bth.inf to bth.bak and now to bth.inf.old and bth.PNF.old, etc.

Also I have had to boot in Safe Mode to delete my USB ports from Dev Man so that they would reinstall after normal boot so that when I plug in the Bluetooth USB adapter, Windows would recognize it and start the Add New Hardware Wizard so that the WIDCOMM drivers would install correctly.

Damn this is long, I hope someone reads it that knows what to do! Thanks for reading the whole thing anyway!
