I had to edit bth.inf for the BT adapter I use (Kensington). Have you done this? It is documented on the forum here...I don't have a link to it but a search should find it.

Yea I had done this but not sure if it's right or not, where can I get the exact name for the Bluetooth adapter I use so far I have found 4 different names

Thanks

Are you using an external adapter or Bluetooth built into a PC? If it's internal, perhaps Windows Device Manager will indicate it. If it's external, it should appear on the adapter somewhere.

Hey RoadRider

Thanks for the reply I am using an external usb one but it was a cheap one made by IVT BlueSoleil but marketed under Nikkai, so I have just come back from the store with an Belkin one but the same problem with it, If I try to install it its still locking for the drivers of the cd, any ideas

Thanks

Don't forget to modify the bth.inf for your new adapter. Have done a search here for bth.inf? Should provide the info you need for modifying this file.
