Hi,

I downloaded the relevant files, installed the registry editor, imported the registry file but the driver installation is being rejected for some reason as the Driver Setup does not result in the Widcomm driver being available in the program list for installation/uninstallation.

I have an X5 with 64MB RAM, Rom version A05, English - is there another Widcomm driver for this model, or is there something else I need to do so that the Windows install of the driver actually deploys the drivers on the PDA?

Thanks in advance

Stuart

PS: I definitely have the rounded-corner version of the Belkin BT adaptor.

[QUOTE=eugenia]Good news everyone!

An online friend actually had the drivers in his PC and so he uploaded them to my web space and so everyone can now download the drivers and have this Belkin BT card *work* with PPC2003/SE.

Here is how:
1. Download and install this freeware registry editor program on your PPC:

2. Download the following text file and IMPORT it to your Registry using the above pogram:

3. Download these drivers:

4. Place the Bluetooth card on your PDA, connect to the ActiveSync and THEN install the drivers.
5. After the drivers have been installed, soft-reset the PDA.

Voila, you have Bluetooth, with a working Bluetooth Manager, via the Belkin F8T020 CF card on PPC2000/2/3/SE.

And if you need it, here's the illustrated documentation:

[B]IMPORTANT:[/B] these drivers are good ONLY for the "rounded corners" Belkin model F8T020 ([URL=http://www.geeks.com/images/300x300/F8T020-FL-UNIT.jpg]picture[/url]). If you have the rectangle "F8T020 version 2" (aka F8T006, [URL=http://www.geeks.com/images/300x300/F8T006-UNIT.jpg]picture[/url]) then these drivers are [B]not[/B] for you. The F8T006 has its own, native PPC2003 drivers on its CD.[/QUOTE]
