I want to use DataPilot with a Bluetooth connection. DataPilot does not recognize my present Bluetooth driver (Toshiba) and says that it needs a Widcomm driver.

If anyone knows how I can get a Widcomm driver which will install on my Inspiron 6000 with a built in Bluettoth card (350), I would appreciate the help.

Thanks

Thanks you for the driver. I need some additional help. I installed the driver and then used the license patcher to pick my bluetooth device and it worked but only once. The first time I used the license patcher it loaded fine but when I rebooted it now says "no bluetooth dec=vice found" when I right click on the icon in the system tray.

If I try to use the license patcher and pick my device nothing seems to happen. Also when I save the device I picked and then exit from the license patcher and then go right back into the license patcher a different device shows "Dell Axim USB Sync" which is a device that I no longer own.

Please help me resolve the problem.

Some additional information. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked fine for that instance. I was able to right click on the a bluetooth icon and add a pair but when I rebooted I could no longer add a pairing or have any connection. It also seems that when I was successful I actually had 2 bluetooth icon - one which said no connection and the second which I was able to right to add a pairing. Now when I right click on the bluetooth icon it says " Bluetooth device not found. Please verify that your device is properly connected and turned on." I have the phone turned on and the bluetooth is set to always on. I even went in and turned on the "discover mode.

Sure would appreciate your help since it obviously works properly if I can resolve the installation issue.

Thank you.
