    I really need help with this overly frustrating problem. If someone shares any knowledge they have about the topic, you'll have my eternal gratitude. You see, I have a Dell Inspiron 640m. It was recently purchased; it has an integrated bluetooth card. The first time you double-click the (irremovable) bluetooth icon that appears on desktop, it automatically installs tons of drivers.

    Now, the drivers that it installs, I think, are WIDECOMM. But, you see, I needed to use the Wiimote with my PC. The Bluetooth drivers detected the Wiimote and connected to it, but there seemed to have no service or whatever to use the Wiimote.

    I downloaded this program that uses bluetooth Wiimote communication and translates what you press with it to keyboard strokes. But it needs the bluetooth card on the PC to be connected with the Wiimote. With the WIDECOMM drivers I couldn't find the way to do it right. So I decided to follow the recommendations and downloaded the BlueSoleil Bluetooth Drivers. After installation, it seems as if the BlueSoleil console can't detect my integrated Bluetooth card.

    Here's my question: How can I make BlueSoleil detect my integrated Broadcom card? The only information I've been able to obtain about the card is that it's a BCM2045.

    Thanks in advance.

    Right click my computer, click property's, click the hardware (?) tab and then click "device manager"

    Find you bluetooth card in device manager, right click, click property's, click driver, click update driver and try to use the new driver you have.

    Done entirely from memory (i don't use windows any more) so apologies for any mistakes (but its the general idea)
