I purchased the DSE CF bluetooth adaptor some time back in late 2003 and the drivers on the discs are now quite old (1.2 if I remember correctly). Installing 1.3 has worked fine in the past but what I'm more interested in is the 1.4 drivers. I reinstalled my computer a while back and haven't used bluetooth until recently (Got me a Nokia 6255 first light on release day - yay!) and so since the computer had been clean of any other bluetooth software, I'm sure that wasn't the problem.
The DSE website has version 1.4.2.12 of the drivers and so I downloaded those. I get the same issue as everyone does with XPSP2: "Your Bluetooth Software license does not include use with this Bluetooth Device" but despite following steps, there is no success. Also, while following the steps I couldn't find any relevant driver as I know that although it's based on a CSR chip, there were only USB drivers. Somewhere along the way, a driver was installed simply "CF Bluetooth Communication Card" and is a WIDCOMM driver. So as I understand it the MS stack is USB only and the driver that is installed /is/ WIDCOMM so I'm pretty sure that rules out the usual issue everyone else is having.
The key question I'm really asking is who here has the card and used the 1.4.2.12 drivers off the Dick Smith website. If not, what drivers supplied by DSE are they using? I know that, from http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=3816, that at least Mauricio is using 1.4 so I'm confident that if the ones of the website are somehow botched I think I may be able to get the actual product CD/files from a DSE friend. I emailed DSE last week but no reply yet and I'm not holding my breath. Otherwise anyone keen to point me in the right direction?
