dual_athlon is a n00b, but everyone loves n00bs!
I installed widcomm v5.0.1.802 (link in first page), and patched. I bought a refurb mx900, so i don't have original CD. I downloaded both setpoint 2.22 and 2.47, which none works (paired with TM350 ok, but customized function is not)
Could you please do a favor for me , please send your setpoint to trtheanh at gmail dot com.
Or if you have emule/shareaza, please send me a URI/magnet.
Thank you very much.

Angry

Thank greenshadow for sending your setpoint to me.
But it doesn't work

Let me describe what i have done:
1) Uninstall widcomm and setpoint, delete their folders in Program Files, delete their registries as well.

2) Restart

3) Press cancel when Winxp recognize Dell TM350. Because i had renamed MS bluetooth INF, TM350 is inactived.

4) Download widcomm 5.0.1.802 + patch from links in sticky first page. Extract, overwrite patch files to original setpoint folder. Then install widcomm.

5) Restart. After restart, plug in Logitech hub.

6) Run setpoint downloading from greenshadow. It shows a dialog say: Connect device to hub. There are 3 choices:
  • Retry scanning
  • Skip
  • Cancel

7) It keeps showing that stupid dialog if i press rescan (i tried pressing Connect btn on mouse, on hub, on both).
If i press skip, setpoint continue to install.

8) restart. Setpoint show options for my MX900 (pairing with logitech hub). I press Update btn on Setpoint dialog. Download. Install update.

9) Restart again, i remove logitech hub beforce winxp loading

10) Mouse is inactive unless i request widcomm to scan, then connect to MX900.

11) At that time setpoint show no option at all

12) If i replug logitech hub, press connect to let mx900 pair with logitech hub, setpoint immediately shows a tab for mx900

It seems that only MX1000 BT can run without logitech hub. Does anybody using MX900 agree with me ?
Am i missing any steps ?

Alright...your step 6, after you install SetPoint and restart, do not unplug the Logitech Hub until the restart has finished. Once your comp finishes restarting, it shouldn't ask you anything about scanning for bluetooth devices...if it does, just close the window...

THEN, unplug the Logitech Hub. Now go to SetPoint software, click on the Tools tab, then choose the bluetooth options (bluetooth Icon). In that screen you see a button "connect device". Your mouse should now be detected (of course you put your mouse in autodiscovery mode).

that's how I did it on my comp and it worked... give it another try

Has anyone tried using the Microsoft Drivers for the BT Radio? That's what I was doing but ran into a problem today. MY BT devices seeme to of went away for no apparant reason.

Do you have to use the Toshiba Drivers for it to work right? All I have is a BT mouse, the V270 and I can't get Setpoint to install when I try the Toshiba drivers. (which I did try right after reinstall of Windows but Logitech didnt like them so I got the MS ones working... well at least I did.)

I need some help. Not to ask a dumb question but what exacty is this guide geared towards? It's it for a certain BT issue or just BT drivers in general? if I understand right, people are saying use these Widcomm drivers over the Microsoft, Toshiba, OR Dell Drivers?

My BT is not working consitantly. I just turned my computer on today and my mouse isnt working, last night it was. All I'm using is the MS default drivers and I have set point installed. My mouse is the V270. What can I do to get mine to work right?

Is going through all those steps to get the widcomm drivers installed nessacary? I dont have a logitech hub since I got the V270 so what do I do at that step?

Thanks!

The original poster wrote a guide on how to use logitech mx1000 bluetooth mouse without logitech hub.

Dell uses Toshiba stack for our inspiron notebook
Most people recommend using widcomm because it gives best compatible with bluetooth peripherals. And i agree with that opinion

We must go through those steps for a simple task because of logitech 's . Setpoint still refuse to recognize my mx900

For your problem, i would like to suggest:
1) Replace battery
2) Install widcomm instead of MS's, v5.0.1.801, 5.0.1.802 seems to be best one. I tried 5.0.1.1200, but it frequently lost connection.

What does the Device Manager report it as?

It may show up in the Device Manager under Bluetooth devices or under Universal Serial Bus controllers

Thumbs up Current Dell Driver WebSite Link

For the past year, Dell's have been shipping with TM350 internal module's for Bluetooth,
they have also been shipping without 'Resource CD's.

Stack/Driver or not, BIOS should ID the Bluetooth for you on Setup. Looking on the old 'Resource CD' that shipped with this D800 (Sept.'04),
it lists "Dell TrueMobile 300 Bluetooth Internal 'Card' Rev A05" and Rev A07 is on my download site.
They look identical (and plug to same cable) but Dell refers to the TM300 as a "card" and the TM350 as a "module"
Following a Format/Reinstall it is usually best to visit Dell Notebook Product Support WebSite {click here}

The Drivers and Utilities on your Resource CD may be out-of-date with the current versions.

You should check your Dell Reinstall Guide, but you usually need to begin by installing Chipset's (up to three of them)
and Dell put the latest revisions on the WebSite last month. They are important for proper install of other Drivers.

Dell Notebook System Software is also important for USB Devices (like Bluetooth).

TM300 modules were used on previous generation (to Dx10, i6k, etc.) and Dell supplies Widcomm Stack/Drivers on its WebSite for those.

Dell has licensed their TM350 Bluetooth to use (and supplies) Toshiba Stack/Drivers and again there are recent versions of those on their WebSite.
The most recent also includes a Firmware Flash for the TM350 and it is critical to perform that completely,
some in here recommend extracting and flashing independently from the Stack/Driver install.

If your WinXP(SP2) sees a Bluetooth on your system w/o a Stack/Driver, it will install its own MS Stack automatically.

The 'got-cha' on the MS Stack (although a lot of users have good service with it) is that it cannot be uninstalled in CP;
Add/Remove and No Other Stack can 'see' a Bluetooth that already has a Stack on it.

At the beginning of this Thread you should find a lot of information on the
method of removing and blocking the MS Stack, should you choose to use a non-MS Stack.

then went to dell site and got the rest including the latest bluetooth which as you said actually updated firmware and all that
so i'm all good now.
I've made a backup of the updated drivers and have made a disk image of my new fresh instal thats all up and running and purring perfectly as i want. (and the disk image backed up on of course a blank dvd at this stage)

6. Click cancel when the new hardware found wizard appears. Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Right Click on Bluetooth Support Services, select properties and change it from Automatic to disabled. This will remove the Microsoft driver's Bluetooth icon from the control panel and tray.
Restart
7. Click cancel when the new hardware found wizard appears. Install the Widcomm Modded Drivers.
Restart
Whenever windows starts back up, it automatically installs. All I see is the hardward found icon on the taskbar and it is automatically installs the truemobile 350 and the microsoft enumerator.

how can I make it where I cancel the hardware installation?
