Toshiba Bluetooth Stack vs Windows Stack

Our Gen2 has a Bluetooth module installed, which we had hoped to use to Sync with our iPaq. The problem is, despite hours of following *pictorial* guides online (how much easier could it get?), I can't get it to work. The problem is that the Toshiba Bluetooth stack has different screens, settings and worst of all, different *terminology* than the Windows stack used in the guides.

I tried uninstalling the Toshiba stack, but Windows isn't bright enough to install its own for Bluetooth support. I installed the updated Toshiba stack from the Dell download site, but that didn't change anything.

For the sake of simplicity, how can I remove the cumbersome, ugly, complicated Toshiba stack and get Windows to support the Bluetooth device itself?

Sorry, I don't think I was being too clear with my last posting. After I plugged the USB dongle into the PC and the MS BT stack loaded, I then never used the dongle again. I only used the dongle to get the MS stack to load, then I used the internal BT adapter with the MS BT stack.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to overcome not being able to use the Windows stack. I'm having the same issue as dlipetz is, where the Bluetooth adapter is seen as an unknown USB device. I have a Microsoft Laser 8000 mouse that is supposed to work with the Windows stack but has trouble with the Toshiba stack in the 360 adapter. I don't want to carry around the dongle that came with it either.

Hey rstripling,

Unfortunately, i still do not have an answer and continue to use my Blackberry with the USB cable. I called Dell and they did not have a solution handy either, though a rep there was willing to "try some things" with me. Someone must have an answer?!?

Having the same problem as everyone here - Latitude D630, Blackberry 650/Toshiba, etc. Found the following info that promises to be the right answer but I've yet to try it: http://websearch.cs.com/cs/boomframe.jsp?query=disable+toshiba+bluetooth%2C+blackberry&page=1&offset=1&result_url=redir%3Fsrc%3Dwebsearch%26requestId%3Dfa8381499972f37%26clickedItemRank%3D1%26userQuery%3Ddisable%2Btoshiba%2Bbluetooth%252C%2Bblackberry%26clickedItemURN%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fbanagale.com%252Fsetting-up-bluetooth-sync-in-windows-xp-using-blackberry-desktop-manager-on-a-dell-d630.htm%26invocationType%3D-%26fromPage%3DCSResultsT%26amp%3BampTest%3D1&remove_url=http%3A%2F%2Fbanagale.com%2Fsetting-up-bluetooth-sync-in-windows-xp-using-blackberry-desktop-manager-on-a-dell-d630.htm
