Bluetooth Problem?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Howdy all, I am having problems using my bluetooth cell with my PC. When I
first got my bluetooth dongle I installed the software which came with the
hardware, and that worked great. But I was having problems with my computer
a few weeks back, and I was forced to clear my drive and reinstall
everything.

One thing I've noticed is that XP now has a default bluetooth control
panel/connection thingie, which wasn't there before my reinstall. I am
assuming that this was either installed by Windows automatically when it
discovered the dongle plugged into the USB port, or, it was installed as
part of a Service Packs/update patch.

Well, this new bluetooth software/connection is very buggy, and I have been
unable to transfer files from or to my cell. Everytime I try transfering
the program crashes, my phone freezes, and sometimes Windows freezes.

I tried to install the program I was using previously, but it no longer
register my bluetooth dongle...

Any suggestions/ideas?
