    Hi

    On my Vaio VGN-A215z (which has built-in bluetooth) i'm trying to install Widcomm bluetooth stack so that i can use a BT audio headset. However after installing Widcomm (that is after i have removed and disabled Microsoft BT stack in XP SP2), i get a yellow exclamation/question mark displayed next to the driver under DEVICE MANAGER and it says "Device Status:This device cannot start (code 10)". The hardware ID on the BT radio is:
    USBVID_044E&PID_3007&Rev_1168
    USBVID_044E&PID_3007

    I have basically followed all the instructions on http://celifornia.com/linux/article.php?story=20051111112753413
    and i have also changed the btwusb.inf to include the above hardware ID but no luck so far.

    If anyone out there has managed to install Widcomm BT stack on an 'A' series notebook, please send me instructions.

    Thanks in advance.
