HI, i'm having external USB Bluetooth device. It works fine. But on my xp service pack 2 control panel, BT icon is not showing. But BT exist on my device manager. I want to use native driver to install it. But xp never finds the device. How to make it available in the control panel? thanks.

Thanks for ur prompt reply indianarchie......well my purpose is completely different from you i guess i'm actually coding a software where it would send a txt file note to any mobile phone that will come across the range of my computer BT. As u click the button, the software will send the note to the mobile phone. It could be any mobile phone. That's why it is very important for me to have the BT icon on my control panel. I was thinkign abt the virtual comport. But in that case, i have to assign my computer to a single phone. But my users will be having different type of phone...they will not be able to assign each time when they use the software. So i was wondering, if i get to that point where i'll have the BT icon on my control panel, things might be easy for me. any idea ? .....

Well, i bought the same BT as indianarchie bought...and my problem is pretty much similar to him.........i want to use native driver also........but i guess things are not solved!!!....and bt icon is not visible on my xp service pack 2 control panel... Indianarchie..could u solve the problem?? plz help me....
