Yep, Vista DOES - or at least is SUPPOSED to - support it. Vista comes with a Bluetooth icon under control panel indicating it supports it and when you install the software that comes with the DBT-122, you get 2 of them in control panel. "HDFatBoy2003" wrote in message ... I don't think Vista natively supports Bluetooth networking. You'll need to install additional Bluetooth stack for it. There is a Widcomm Vista stack available, don't know if your dongle uses Widcomm or another stack. "Diamontina Cocktail" wrote in message ... I use a D-Link DBT-122 and under XP all was well. Under Vista, system properties says it exists but the Bluetooth icon in control panel says it doesn't. I originally thought this was a D-Link problem but today I got a message from a Dell owner with inbuilt bluetooth saying that after the upgrade to Vista, he has the exact same problem. So, does anyone know how to get bluetooth dongles recognised by Vista now, please? Thanks. Actually, the Bluetooth Icon in Control Panel is only installed IF your PC has built-in Bluetooth Radio. Otherwise, it never appears UNTIL Bluetooth hardware and software is installed. Obviously not right because my computer 1) Doesnt have inbuilt bluetooth, only a dongle. 2) The icon was there from the first moment I opened Control Panel. Back then, 2 were there and I uninstalled the software from D-Link and now only the Vista one is there. I guess you have as "special" computer, then. All I can do is testify to what I have experienced. There was no Bluetooth icon in the Control Panel after I installed Vista. Nope. I have a normal self built one. All I can do is testify to what happens. Actually, my friend, you can only testify to "what happens with YOU". Any other "testimony" is commonly referred to as "rumour", and is not admissible in a court of Law. So it doesn't happen to you therefore it doesn't happen to anyone, right? Please, Sir, or Madam. I may be bull-headed, but I'm certainly not a fool. I've been using Windows for many years, and have yet to see a Bluetooth icon in Control Panel unless a Bluetooth receiver is installed. So I was right. It didnt happen to you therefore you assume it doesnt happen to anyone. Good for you. |

Bluetooth under Vista
""Darrell Gorter[MSFT]"" wrote in message ... Hello, The Bluetooth Icon only appears in Control Panel if Bluetooth Reciever are detected on the machine: Yes but that isnt specific enough information. As I have stated before, I can find the bluetooth device in System Properties but the Bluetooth under Control Panel says it isnt there. From the help file which is pointing to the profiles supported: What is Bluetooth wireless technology? I know what bluetooth is. Under XP I had been using it for some time and had been aware of what it is long before that. Bluetooth technology uses radio transmissions to enable devices such as computers, printers, mice, or mobile phones to communicate wirelessly over a short distance. Some of the ways to use Bluetooth technology a To transfer files between computers or between a computer and another device To print using a Bluetooth enabled wireless printer To use a Bluetooth enabled wireless keyboard or mouse To listen to music using Bluetooth enabled wireless headphones To synchronize a Bluetooth enabled personal digital assistant (PDA) to a computer or another device To create a wireless connection to the Internet with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone or a modem server To join a Bluetooth personal area network (PAN) Thaks for that but ultimately it had nothing to do with my problem which, as I said before, is that bluetooth unde control panel wont work as it says my DBT-122 isnt connected yet at the same point in time the System Properties says it IS connected. |

So it appears no-one has an answer for this problem then.

Bluetooth under Vista
Hello,
So the thread is confusing as to what the question is you are asking to as well as to some of the comments made by various people as to what Bluetooth supports in-box. The points to take away is that the Bluetooth Icon only appears if the Reciever is detected. If the icon shows, that means the reciever was found and the Bluetooth stack was installed by the OS. That is only the reciever, now you need a device to communicate with. The Bluetooth icon when run, attempts to locate a Bluetooth Device, it will not show the reciever, it only shows the devices that it can locate. So the inference is the DBT-122 is the reciever, what is the Bluetooth device that you are trying to detect and communicate with and does it support one of the profiles listed in the prior mail. The other confusing part is the software that was installed. What Bluetooth software? If you installed another Bluetooth software stack, it may supply it's own Control Panel icon, it which case you could have issues with the mutliple Bluetooth stacks and\or drivers that are installed.

Sorry but it doesnt attempt to find the transceiver at all. So the inference is the DBT-122 is the reciever, what is the Bluetooth Actually, it is a transceiver because it sends AND receives, not just receives. Yes, just being pedantic. Sorry. device that you are trying to detect and communicate with and does it support one of the profiles listed in the prior mail. That doesnt matter at all as I have said before. The System Properties FINDS the DBT-122 but the BLUEOOTH properties under control panel says it isnt there. Before it can find any bluetooth device, it has to know that the DBT-122 is there. According to the Bluettoh properties it isnt but according to system properties it is. Therein, as I have said before, is the problem. Bluetooth under control panel wont find it. The other confusing part is the software that was installed. What Bluetooth software? If you installed another Bluetooth software stack, it may supply it's own Control Panel icon, it which case you could have issues with the mutliple Bluetooth stacks and\or drivers that are installed. Yeah I originally did have the stack installed from the CD that came with it under XP and all worked OK, updated to Vista and things didnt work, uninstalled it and no change. System Propeties says it is there but the Bluetooth properties says it isnt. |

to install the dbt-122 under vista u have to plug the device and let windows reconize it. follow the steps and at the end it will say driver not found or somenthing like that!!!!. then go to control panel\device manager and u will see the device that is not working. right click on it. select properties and then reinstall driver. click on browse my computer for driver software after thet click on let me pick driver from list. look for bluetooth radios and then windows mobile-device support. click next then yes and it will work. -- carlosagu2007 |

The DBT-122 is not recognised by Vista. Besides, in System properties, it is ALWAYS working, never needing reinstalling. No idea where you got that from. |
