This is the result of a research i did the past two days. Recently i bought a Sony Ericsson S700 from a friend (Afey). Since the phone came without the cable and i wanted to connect it to my pc i went for Bluetooth(BT), and guess what I’m glad i did. At the begining i only had a MSI BToes Bluetooth Dongle ( Bluetooth1.2 USB Transceiver, 10 Meters) and a driver that didnt work. The drivers setupfile was corrupted. After hours of browsing i figured it out and this is how it worked for me;
NOTE; This method might not work on all the dongles out there and there might be another way of doing this. This is just the method i used
First download this file. It contaings the BT software and a patcher.

NOTE; This is not the latest version of the BT software, this is version 1.4.2.8. The latest version can be downloaded from www.broadcom.com, but the patcher in this does not work with the latest software thts why i went with this. There are patcher’s for the latest version also do a google if you want to be updated i think i am gona stick with this for the time being.
Plug your BT device to your PC (when ‘Found new hardware wizard’ appears cancel it, extract the files you just downloaded and run the setup file which should be in the folder named ‘Blutooth Software’ and install the software. At the end of the installation it will again display a ‘Found new hardware wizard’. This time do it. DONT let it search and install the drivers. If you do so it will install the Windows BT drivers which is of no good. Show it ‘Blutooth Software’ folder (the one you downloaded and extracted). After a search it will display two drivers. One is the windows file which will show the location as ‘c:\WINDOWS..’ something. The other one is the one you need. Select it and install it. Now re-start you pc. Your device is installed and should work fine now.
Best of luk.
