windcomm software half 'packed up' since SP2

Need SP2 on for development purposes.

Don't have any firewall as there's really no need.

Don't see what IE has to do with anything

From what I have seen you can have Widcomm BT working or SP2, not
both.

I just hope your PC isn't on the net.

My suggestion was based on the fact that SP2 goes a small way to
fixing the glaring problems with IE, OE and what MS have the cheek to
call a firewall. If you don't run SP2 (or even if you do) you are
better off without using any of those elements.

Oh my PC's on the net alright, but I really doubt any herbert's gonna manage
to compromise it

What I'm REALLY intested in is why all the windcomm BT services work minues
the audio ones.

Well,

I imaged my hard disc accross to another one and uninstalled SP2 on that -
still doesn't work.

Have you reinstalled your Widcomm drivers? I did an SP2 uninstall a
couple of weeks ago and reinstalled the drivers and all was back
working fine.

Yep - cleaned everything total off (down to the INF files and started
again).

It still can't manage audio connections wherer the bluesoiel software's
fine.
