Bluetooth Help - XP SP2
I have a USB Bluetooth adaptor that used to work fine on WinXP SP1. I could see My Bluetooth Places and transfer files easily.
Since upgrading to SP2 I no longer have My Bluetooth Places and have to used the single file transfer option in SP2.
Anyone know how I can get My Bluetooth Places back ?
Thanks

I've got the EXACT same problem Dunk. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any work around at the moment - I've looked (but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place!)
SP2 also fukked up my webcam
Gonna re-install the PC over the Xmas break (I've got one!) and leave it on SP1.
Will be interested to see if there are any work-arounds...... (I think it was part of the security "update"
)

My bluetooth was stuffed as well but XP has it's own bluetooth functionality (I think 
) which I prefer to the one that came with my adapter... (little blue icon in RHS of task bar)

yeh - XP does have it's own, but it's useless (IMHO).
I used to be able to browse my BT device. Eg the T610 or S55 has a file architecture that I could explore in XP......
Great for transferring stuff etc
Not any more

Excellent, works a treat 
Got My Bluetooth Places back and rid of the other rubbish.
Dan, I can mail the files, but they're about 20Mb, any ideas ?

Dunk - got it sorted 
however, whlist I was downloading the files from you 
I *think* all I've done is to reinstall the Widcom (sp) drivers. Then gone into "msconfig" and stopped the microsoft BT stuff in "startup".
Whe I now go into my Siemens data suite, I can explore my phone and the MMC
Works well
Without wishing to screw up a working system, what is the difference between my setup and the downloaded files?
Cheers,
Dan

Dunk, I can host them for you and pop 'em in a zip file to make it easy to get. Then post a link here...
Let me know?
