Hi James,

It refused to register, but, it works!!

It's great to have proximity detection back again :)


Cheers,


Martyn

Hi,
Could you give this a go
http://www.mi4.biz/files/blue/xapbluewidcommdll.zip
Unzip and place it in system32.  I don't think it needs registering  but it
cant hurt.  In theory it should allow the bluetooth framework to use the
widcom stack under 2k3.
The theory part is that I don't have a 2k3 box to test this, only a virtual
one and that cant access the bluetooth hardware at all!

Hi James,

I'm having a similar issue too now.

I've just switched one of my machines over to Windows Server 2003 which
doesn't have the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.  So my Bluetooth adapter is
installed now with the Widcom drivers, but I don't think that the Bluetooth
library that you are using (btframework.ocx) supports it (I get "error
accessing bluetooth radio").

When the machine was originally running Windows XP I had the same issue
using the Widcom drivers, but swapping to the Microsoft Bluetooth stack
then
worked fine.

I see though that there's now an updated library under the name of
"Wireless
Communications Library" which supposedly supports a much wider range
of
Bluetooth stacks?

Is it possible for you to switch to the newer library?


Cheers,

Martyn

Hi,
On my linksys device windows could use one of two drivers. the linksys one
and a microsoft one which seem to work better. If go through device manager
and update to compatible drivers it should list the microsoft one. I think
it was called CSR radio but I've also seen it refered to as generic.
Howerver in may be different in win2k3. I presume there are no other
bluetooth radios or apps using the radios.   If there are multiple radios
then you can make it use the other one by selecting it in the settings
file.

Hi all,

I've just got a Linksys USB / BT device and installed the xAP Blue
application. However, when I start Blue the GUI errors with:

"Error accessing bluetooth radio"

Have I done something wrong?

TIA
