Cyberpower’s Gamer Dragon: Can AMD Bring The Game?

1.5 TB Low-Power HDDs: Green Gets Big

MSI Eclipse Plus: Does nForce 200 Boost 3-Way SLI?

With 36 lanes of PCIe 2.0, 3-way SLI could be the X58 chipset’s biggest challenge. If that turns out to be true, is Nvidia’s nForce 200 controller hub, which multiplexes the platform's connectivity, a solution? We compare three configurations to find out. Read more

Hello all,

First post here so greetings!!

Been pulling my hair out this past week trying to get a Bluetooth
Dongle (Epox BT-DG03BF) installed on my laptop (HP Pavilion ZV5000).

Have tried installing the WIDCOMM drivers supplied with it, along with
the HP Bluetooth Support drivers (also WIDCOMM) on the HP Technical
Support site also.

And i keep getting the dongle installed as a USB Composite Device in my
Device Manager. And even after installing the drivers, i'm getting 'My
Bluetooth Places' and 'Bluetooth Configuration' in Control Panel... but
no 'Bluetooth Radios' / 'Bluetooth Devices' in my Device Manager.

Strange one, don't you think?

Hope someone can help me with 'this rhubard of a jam of a pickle'! (to
quote Ned Flanders)

Many thanks in advance,

Brian
