Removing USB installations

[Shugster]

Hi All,

I'm working on a Bluetooth project at home using a Belkin Bluetooth USB dongle.

I made a hash of the installation and let windows do the installation instead of using the disk provided, (Yeah I know, doomed to fail from the outset!).

I have now installed the right software but windows still takes control and the correct software can't see the dongle at all.

I've been down the Add/ remove road and uninstalled in the device manager but can't seem to uninstall a key element somewhere.

Any ideas?

Have you looked in device manager to see which driver the device is using mate?

I tried to update the driver but it said it couldn't find a better one, or something along those lines.

I think the drivers are OK. It can send and receive OK but the problem is that the "Right" program can't take control of it.

I want to make a serial port for data transfer.

after you have uninstalled it.. is it still showing in 'Manage Internet Connections' as the default connection?

I'll have a look tonight. I'm at work at the moment.
