Vista, bluetooth ('Bluesoleil') & Nokia 2630
I bought a USB Bluetooth device so that I could link my Nokia 2630
phone and my Toshiba Equiuum laptop (running Vista). The software with the bluetooth dongle is a pain, over-elaborate and it seems impossible to stop it starting upon startup, even after having removed it within Defender. I've tried uninstalling the BlueSoleil software but it seems the Windows drivers for bluetooth aren't adequate. Is there a way round this? I had hoped another set of drivers would be available or that this (Mikomi) bluetooth dongle could use good Vista drivers from another brand. Also once Bluesoleil is installed the FN and arrow keys method of changing laptop volume stops working - somehow the Bluetooth audio drivers interfere. I have the Nokia software running but without the Bluesoleil software it's not quite working - Contacts disappear after initially loading, and videos and mp3s won't transfer. I'm doubting the unit is faulty - it does what it's meant to with the Bluesoleil software but that software is is too much. Thanks for any input.

Vista, bluetooth ('Bluesoleil') & Nokia 2630
See http://europe.nokia.com/A4678152 . You need BlueSoleil 5.0.5 and this is
probably not the version supplied with your dongle. Google for "bluesoleil 5.0.5" and download and install from the most convenient source. The latest build is 5.0.5.178. You will probably need to purchase the upgrade and apply a key when you have purchased the upgrade. wrote in message ...
