- Bluetooth Problem
- Posted by nojo901 on May 7th, 2008
My XP Pro laptop comes with a built-in Broadcom BT device and driver.
To be able to synch my Blackberry, I need to use the Windows driver instead.
i have two problems:
1) I cannot remove the Broadcom - it is not listed under add/remove software
and when I try to do it in device manager, only one of the two Broadcom BT
items listed under BT have a remove option AND when I remove the one that I
can remove, the Scand For Hardware Changes option automatically reinstalls
the Broadcom software.
2) I cannot find a download for the Windows BT driver.
Very annoying!

you probably need to DISABLE the device instead of uninstalling it.

Thank you mikey.
Sadly, there does not seem to be a DISABLE option listed under Actions?

Microsoft's Bluetooth protocol is not a separate download. These are
normally part of Service Pack 2 (SP2.) However, your laptop is
delivered with Widcomm / Broadcom version so you need to consult with
the laptop's tech support web site.
