Dear Forum,

I am trying to conect my Ipaq 6515 to a HP pavillion notebook zt3352ap - I use windows XP sp2.

I have no "Bluetooth Devices" control panel.

I connect using the cradle, Activesync works. I then go to Bluetooth Places on my desktop, and search using the Bluetooth setup wizard. It finds the iPaq but when I try to pair the devices. It then gives me an error that it cannot pair the devices and says click connect on the back of the HID - whatever that means.

In my computer's bluetooth places I have Bluetooth serial port shortcut. It is com 7, 6,7,9 and 10 are buetooth com ports accoring to my device manager.

On the iPaq I have 2 shortcuts for serial port and active sync, and nothing works.

Can anyone help?

All the Best

I had a similar problem.
I think it's something to do with the bluetooth drivers installed in SP2. It's a known fault and you can find the solution on the microsoft website. If would tell you what to do but I'm afraid I can't remember.
Maybe look in the SP2 FAQ section?
Sorry not to be more help.

Dear Cath,

Thanks for your reply. Yours and others advised me that the problem was that I needed SP2 drivers.

But I contacted another forum and the guy said that was not necessary and gave me this guide:-

Bluetooth ActiveSync guide for Windows Mobile 2003 (iPAQ, Dell, XV6600, PDA2k, Harrier)

And it worked fine

My product recovery CD has obviously not got full SP2 drivers or they have been bypassed in some way. I just wish the bluetooth documentation they gave me was as clear and as easy to follow as the above URL.

Thanks for your help.

All the Best
