Hi:

I followed the below process of installation mentioned in the forum, but still facing problems in installing the bluetooth.

• Don't plug in the Bluetooth device yet.
• If you have any Bluetooth software apart from the included Windows drivers installed, deinstall them and reboot.
• Install the WIDCOMM BTW 1.4.2.10 Bluetooth software. When it asks you to plug in the Bluetooth device and click OK, don't, and click Cancel instead.
• When the WIDCOMM setup has finished, plug in your Bluetooth device and let Windows install the driver (there should be two Bluetooth icons in the system tray; one blue-white: this is the Windows driver - and one blue-red: this is the WIDCOMM driver which is deactivated).
• Now go to the Device Manager, right click on the "Generic Bluetooth Radio" and select "Update driver". Don't let Windows XP connect to the Internet, then select "Choose software from a list or specified location". In the next window, select "Don't search, but select the driver to install".
• In the next window, activate "Show compatible hardware" (if it isn't activated already) and select your manufacturer's driver instead of the "Generic Bluetooth Radio" driver. Click next until the new driver is installed. Now the WIDCOMM system tray icon should be blue-white as well, activated and ready to use. If you now double click on "My Bluetooth Places" (e.g. on the desktop), the WIDCOMM software installation will be continued and finished.


In system tray i get to see Blue-red icon and not blue-white, when I right click and say Start Bluetooth it gives the same error "Your Bluetooth Software license does not include use with this Bluetooth Device [6]"

Can anyone help me out of this problem?

Thank you

Moiz

Are you using the software supplied with your Bluetooth hardware on this install?

Yes, I am using the same software (1.4.2.10) which came along with Bluetooth.

I also tried with another previous version 1.4.1.10, it installed successfully but I cant send any data from PC to Mobile, but I can send from Mobile to PC.

Please advice.


Thank you

You should really contact the manufacturer. Some have updated drivers to fix this problem. However, if the previous version worked, why not use it? It seems it's only a minor release update, so no functionality should be missing there.

If the File Transfer worked before then I suggest really going back to that version. As for the sending files from PC to mobile, some mobile phones do not allow this - it depends on which model you are using.

No issues and problems in using old version, but I cannot transfer data to Mobile.

I have Nokia 3230 handset.

Are you using File Transfer or the Nokia Phone Suite? Perhaps you should ask about this software on another forum (the GSM/GPRS)?
