1/14/2005 11:50 AM: Windows XP SP2 Bluetooth...

GibbsUSA.net smilie: confused While playing with my new system, I noticed that the Bluetooth drivers for my Belkin BT USB did not show all the options that the driver provided.
After doing some research, it turns out that this is due to the Microsoft Driver signing implementation and they have a support article on this.
To work around this issue and to successfully install the third-party driver for your Bluetooth adapter perform the following:

Rename the Bth.inf file
Rename the %WINDIR%\inf\Bth.inf file to Bth.bak before you install or reinstall the third-party device or stack. When you rename the file, you prevent Windows Plug and Play PNP from using that INF file to install the Bluetooth driver that is included with Windows XP SP2. To rename the file, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type %windir%\inf in the Open box, and then click OK. 2. Right-click Bth.inf, and then click Rename. 3. Rename Bth.inf to Bth.bak, and then press ENTER. 4. Install the third-party Bluetooth driver.

After doing this, I was able to pair my headset, audio gateway and PDA as normal...good old MS! GibbsUSA.net smilie: wink
