Hi All,

I recently bought THIS USB BT dongle. Unfortunately, WinXP doesn't recognize it correctly.... it comes up as an unknown device "ISSCBTA" in device manager.
When I google this it points me at BlueSoleil. I never had any luck with "BS" plus I'm using this on a corporate PC and don't have admin permission to install that software. Anyone know if I can get Windows to use a driver to recognize it without installing the "BS" software?

If it is possible to get drivers on a system where you don't have admin rights I would personally get a BT device that uses the Widcomm stack rather than BlueSoleil. I have never had any joy trying to work with BlueSoleil BT dongles.

[If you are not keen on asking someone with Admin rights on your work machine to install the drivers but you manage to find a work around, I'd ask yourself - how much trouble will I in if it is later found on my machine? Some workplaces take the use of BT devices as a serious breach of security. Just my 5 cents. And yes I know how hard it can be to get IT departments to do something even if you have the go ahead from someone senior]
