Right now, when I double-click on the setup.exe file that came with the Cirago driver, nothing happens (it doesn't start setup). Then I'll install the Toshiba stack for the Cirago adapter. Now that I know that the software is no good, I want to uninstall it. I have recently realized I made the mistake of buying a Bluetooth adapter and installing the Broadcom/Widcomm Bluetooth stack driver software. If you do not have a copy of the software installation CD for your device, you should contact Broadcom's Technical Support.My situation is similar to this question for Windows 7, except my OS is Windows XP SP3. Note: The Widcomm software should have come with your Bluetooth adapter/card. The WIDCOMM system tray icon should be blue and white and ready to use. The other is blue and red and is installed with the WIDCOMM driver.ħ) Open the Device Manager, locate the "Generic Bluetooth Radio" (you may find your manufacturer's Bluetooth Adapter under "Bluetooth Radios" instead), right-click on it and select "Update Driver".Ĩ) In the next dialog select "Don't search, but select the driver to install".ĩ) Select "Show compatible hardware" and select your manufacturer's driver instead of the "Generic Bluetooth Radio" driver.ġ0) Click Next until the driver installation is completed. When it instructs you to plug in the Bluetooth adapter click OK, do NOT plug in the adapter, and click Cancel instead.ĥ) When the installation has completed, plug in the adapter and let Windows install the driver.Ħ) At this point there will be two Bluetooth icons in the system tray one is blue and white and is installed with the Windows driver. To force Windows XP to use the WIDCOMM driver, perform the following steps: 1) Don't plug in the Bluetooth dongle or adapter yet.Ģ) If you have any Bluetooth software other than the Windows drivers installed, go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall them.Ĥ) Install the WIDCOMM Bluetooth software.
Additionally, the generic driver does not support the Audio Gateway or Audio Headset Profiles.
This generic driver interferes with the WIDCOMM Bluetooth software. The WIDCOMM driver is not WHQL certified, so Windows XP will use the generic driver instead. The WIDCOMM software is used in many of the popular Bluetooth adapters on the market (including some made by Belkin or TDK). Many Bluetooth adapters use software from Widcomm which require Widcomm drivers. In Service Pack 2, Microsoft included a generic Bluetooth driver which is WHQL certified.
