    I downloaded a bluetooth driver and installed it, and it works very good with my bluetooth mouse, but I dont know how to transfer data using bluetooth.
    I used to use window vista, and it has a "bluetooth transfer wizard" that I cannot find it in window XP.
    Do I need to download any software?
    Thanks

    This depends on what device you're trying to transfer data to using Bluetooth. If it's a cell phone, you'll have to pair it first and enter in the pairing code before you can send via Bluetooth in either direction.

    Ya, cell phone. I entered the pairing code. What I know (vista) is I need to click on the "bluetooth transfer" and select receive data from the cell phone and then send data. And now I didnt find any "bluetooth transfer icon" (or something like that) in XP.

    I have a icon called "My Bluetooth Places" on desktop, and I have another one called "Bluetooth configuration" in control panel.
    I uses the setup.exe in C:\Drivers\TPBTooth to install my bluetooth driver.
    Its look strange to me because after installation, there is a bluetooth icon called "My Bluetooth Places" which is on desktop and cannot be removed.
    Anyone have idea?
    Or did I do something wrong?
