Bluetooth Dongle Driver For SP2
I bought a USB bluetooth dongle a while back. It came with a driver CD which I promptly lost. Hoorah.
I then found a tutorial on how to install some Widcomm drivers to handle the dongle... This worked perfectly and I hda a year or so of runnign bluetooth stuff through that driver... I then made the silly mistake of installing vista over the top of XP... I wasnt expecting bluetooth to work, but a week later and I've done a fresh XP install.
I've downloaded the latest Widcomm drivers (4.0.1.2101) and they install like the last ones did but the adapter still cant be found...
I've done a little research about the dongle from the FCC information. See the link below for the FCC Application:
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/tcb/reports/Tcb731GrantForm.cfm?mode=COPY&RequestTimeout=500&application_id=630376&fcc_id=MQ4UBT1KH
The FCCID is: MQ4UBT1KH
The company is called Abocom.
Their product page is: http://www.abocom.com.tw/product.php
The model is UBT1KH but I cant find a link to any relevant looking drivers on there.
So yeah... I'm looking for one of the following things:
- A link to the actual drivers
- A link to the article that told me how to do it in the first place (hard, I know)
- A link to some alternative drivers that work
- Any other method that ends up with me being bluetooth-enabled again =)

Well after what dan said, and much mucking around trying to force the driver to work, I found the damned CD...
I'm going to make an ISO of it for later reference just incase it goes missing again.
I've tried to split the points as evenly as possible. If you're not happy, I'm sorry.

Glad to see you've found your missing CD. I'd make two copies ;)

Even then it wasnt plain sailing... I had to do about 15 restarts to get the old (well infact newer) Widcomm driver off my system before it would agree my license.dat file was valid... Stupid drivers.
lol good to see you found a solution and the cd OliWarner. Good effort..
The last link i gave shud have taken care of the drivers hassles but sometimes XP can be a pain and tends to put the drivers all over the place.
Glad you found your CD. Usually with bluetooth dongles from non standard companies thats the quickest way to make sure they work. Updates are rare if any for such dongles.

Neither of those options seem to be working for me at the moment.
