... or the sad story of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. (You need a forum icon of crying!!).
Please help! I am in dire need of some (hopefully) easy-ish help.
I got BT working using an MSI dongle and IPAQ 3970. I could ActiveSync and even browse the internet.
However, internet browsing always timed-out after about 10 mins. Looking at these forums made me think that ZoneAlarm was the problem. However, instead of doing anything about that, I saw a link for downloading Widcomm drivers for BT (the following version: 1.3.1.46). Stupidly, I installed this over the top of my normal (working) standard BT application on my PDA.
This set-up worked for about 15 minutes then refused to ever work again. Basically both my desktop and my IPAQ decided they couldn't see each other. So, I thought I would uninstall the Widcomm app from my handheld.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH. Of course, it had overwritten the original BT application and now my IPAQ is bluetoothless. I am ashamed and embarrassed to admit that I have no idea how to restore it, as the disc I got with my IPAQ just has stupid add-on programs that I never use.
If anyone has some step-by-step advice about how to restore my old setup (ie the original version of BT - or even a patched version) then I would be truly, truly grateful.
I am tearing my hair out because now I don't even have BT activesync, just normal USB stuff. Thank you for reading.
