Bluetooth CF Card - conflict with I/O Range?

[martcol]

Since installling winXP SP2 i have problems getting my PDA to Bluetooth with my laptop although, I am not sure that is the reason.

I have an Ambicom BT CF card in my laptop (P III 1. with a PCMCIA adapter. My PDA is Pocket PC and already BlueTooth enabled. It has updated drivers too. It all worked before SP2 and worked even better when I updated my Ipaq drivers (Before SP2).

I have been to advice page on Microsoft and tried their advice (

http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;883258)

but no joy. One thing they suggest is to try to run bthprops.cpl but that doesnt seem to have any effect except a little flutter on my laptop.

I have installed and reinstalled uninstalled reinstalled all drivers (heaps of times). I have used device manager to uninstall the device and reinstall it. I have followed instructions to the letter. Tonight I have had a look in Device Manager under Ambicom Bluetooth Device it seems to indicate a problem with IRQ and or I/O Setting. It says:

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 2

To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

Under Properties it says (in a small table)

Resource Type Setting
IRQ ?
I/O Range 02F8 – 02FF

And

Input/Output Range 02F8 - 02FF used by:
SMC IrCC - Fast Infrared Port

In Device Manager for SMC IRCC – Fast Infrared Port under Properties (again, in a small table)

Resource Type Setting
I/O Range 02F8 – 02FF
I/O Range 06F8 – 06FF
IRQ 03
DMA 03

Does that mean the IR device is conflicting with the BT device? If it is a problem and I can fix it, please do let me know.

Many thanks

I'm trying to set up a wireless network at home. In one computer I have a 2wire (SBC Standard) dsl router and a 2Wire USB Access Point that I recently purchased, this PC is running under WinME .In the other one, running under WinXP, I installed a PCMCIA slot in a PCI also a 2Wire. To that point, everything is fine. The problem comes when I insert the PCMCIA card in the computer: I get an IRQ conflict. The system is assinging the IRQ 00 to the PCMCIA card and crashing with the system timer.

I already tried to install the PCI card in other PCI slots and uninstall and reinstall everything again, but I still have the same problem. I also looked into the BIOS and it does not have a tool to configure the IRQ or PnP.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks
