Windows memory effect

[Ray]

My computer has been upgraded to XP Pro SP2. I just bought a USB Bluetooth
adapter in order to do ActiveSync with my pda phone and share the internet
connection. As SP2 has included Bluetooth enumerator, I did not install
Widcomm Bluetooth software 1.4.1 accompanied with the Bluetooth device. The
first time I plug the device into a USB port on the front of the computer
and it was detected and the Windows Bluetooth enumerator is installed. Upon
successfully installation, I move the adapter to a rear port and the
computer detect the adapter but does not install the Windows Bluetooth
enumerator. I tried to move back to the front port and it works. Can
someone advise me how to permanently remove the memory effect in the system
so I can redo it on the rear port.

Thanks,

Ray

Open Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager.
Locate the Bluetooth Enumerator on the device list, right-click on it
and select Uninstall.

Then connect your Bluetooth adapter to the rear port and it should
detect it and reinstall the software.

If not repeat the procedure and this time reboot the computer after
the uninstall.

Good luck

Ron,

Thanks for your advice. I tried without full success.

The Bluetooth Enumerator can be removed from the front port as per your
procedure. However, after I moved the device to the rear port and the
Bluetooth Enumerator was auto installed correctly. It works correctly after
rebooting but after I turned off the computer and switched on again, the
Bluetooth Enumerator disappeared on the device. The led indicator was
blanking as usual. I need to unplug the device and plug it again. The
Enumerator will appear again. That is to say I need to unplug and plug it
again on every power-on my computer. Any further advice is appreciated.
