Bluetooth Support in SP2

[jren57]

Does SP2 have built-in support for Bluetooth devices, and will it be
necessary to un-install the Widcomm driver that came supplied with my Belkin
BT dongle before installing SP2?

I've haven't read much about Bluetooth support in SP2, so any help will be
appreciated.

thanks

Hello Jren57,
Yes Windows XPSP2 will support Bluetooth. Installing the serive pack will
attempt to see if an existing Bluetooth Stack is already installed. If so
it will not be overwritten, so uninstalling the other Bluetooth Stack will
allow the Bluetooth stack to install while installing XPSP2
