Re: XP SP2 and TDK Posted: 02-14-2004, 05:03 AM How do you enable the bluetooth on SP2? I had SP2 enabled and I couldnot get anywhere with my Bluetooth Socket PC card. I could not find any entries or programs for bluetooth management. -- Posted via http://uglyphones.com Dedicated to help you get rid of your Ugly Phone!
Re: XP SP2 and TDK Posted: 02-14-2004, 07:14 AM Bluetooth on SP2 requires the Microsoft Bluetooth hardware.

From what I understood the Bluetooth stack on SP2 would interact with all the listed hardware on Microsoft's site. My card was not on the list, but others have had success with non listed cards. The list is pretty short though. I'm curious though, how to even find any BT wizards or references. I looked all over my network settings and found none. Does Windows actually have to detect a BT card on its short list to install the BT software? -- Posted via http://uglyphones.com Dedicated to help you get rid of your Ugly Phone!

Are you sure the list isn't of certified hardware? I'm sure that this would break Widcomm who charges for copy of software sold. Companies would just then get accepted by MS and stop buying the (much better) Widcomm software. And what about new hardware? Device drivers would be downloaded by MS Update? Unlikely. I think the list is of HQL only. Anyway, the Microsoft Bluetooth control is in the Control Panel after installed, Wireless icon. -- Mauricio Freitas Handhelds, mobile: http://www.geekzone.co.nz Bluetooth guides: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=449 Performance Centre (Pocket PC reviews): http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?ContentId=2028
Re: XP SP2 and TDK Posted: 02-16-2004, 05:40 PM There is no PC card support in XPSP2 yet.By the way, all supported USB hardware which worked in SP1 will work in SP2, including the TDK USB Bluetooth device.
