Making WIDCOMM work with Nokia PC Suite
If you’re one of the owners of the old MSI Bluetooh PC2PC USB Dongle and would like to get it to work with Nokia PC Suite, the web is going to give you a hard time for a solution.
Well, I did come up with a solution after 2 days of reading. Apparently, the newer versions of Nokia PC suite (version 7 as of this writing), did not support WIDCOMM Bluetooth devices. Most MSI and 3rd party (3rd party meaning non-microsoft) bluetooth dongles are WIDCOMM bluetooth dongles, pardon the redundancy, but they are as they are.
The new versions only support Microsoft Bluetooth. Either their developers were lazy or they just didn’t want to bother too much with your Nokia working with your Windows. It’s not a PC anyway. RIGHT.
For the obsessive compulsive, you obviously would like to somehow sync your Nokia mobile phone to your PC. I was just lazy since I had an older 6070. And I don’t want to copy my old contacts to my new phone manually. I hate manual work. But I still hate needles more.
Anyway, the solution to this simply to introduce your WIDCOMM bluetooth device as a MICROSOFT bluetooth device. How? Steps are as follows. I cannot guaranteed it would work, but it did in my case. I have now paired my desktop (Windows XP SP3) and my Nokia 2600 Classic. Once I switch on my bluetooth on my phone, my PC instantly recognizes it. I can receive and send messages on my PC and is synced automatically with the phone. It’s really cool actually. I don’t have to look at my phone at all when someone sends me a message.
Anyway, continue to read on if you want to get things working. I’m only offering a simple and working solution.
I read the solution from here.
There is a conflict between the widcomm tools coming with the widcomm driver and PC Suite. The solution is to use the Microsoft Driver instead of the Widcomm driver.
To do so, you need add a line into the C:\Windows\inf\bth.inf.
First, call Device Manager” (execute Devmgmt.msc).
Edit properties of your bluetooth key.
Find the manufacturer and find the identifier like USB\Vid_xxxx&Pid_xxxxThen, edit with notepad C:\Windows\inf\bth.inf
In the bluetooth section of your manufacturer, add this line :
[MyManufacturer.5.1]
MyBlueTooth Key= BthUsb,USB\Vid_xxxx&Pid_xxxxSave your file with same name.
Remove your bluetooth key.
Uninstall Widcomm driver.
The MSI PC2PC dongle uses this key:
BthUsb,USB\VID_0DB0&PID_1967
You have to know what’s yours. Looking at device manager helps IF you find your bluetooth device there when its plugged. I didn’t find mine. I found the bluetooth key by means of installing a wrong driver, although I am not sure anymore.
Anyway, for the purposes of convenience, I have uploaded the contents of my bth.inf so you may try it out yourself. Note that this is my key for this file:
MSI USB Bluetooth Device= BthUsb,USB\VID_0DB0&PID_1967
Hope this helps you out. Please copy and paste the code into notepad and save it as bth.inf into your C:\Windows\inf\ folder.
