Bluetooth Dongle Software

I have just borrowed a Bluetooth Dongle from a friend which windows installed fine on it's own but the software is rubbish! You can only send one file at a time to the PC etc.

I used to have one before that came with great software that let me browse my files on the phone copy and paste off etc.

All windows says about the device is that it is made by "Darfon". I found their website but no software for it on there! Any good software for this out there?

I would be surprised if it was software that came with the adapter that allowed you to do what you're saying. It would normally just be the phone software that would let you do that.

Does Windows not have its own drivers for it? I just plugged mine in and it installed itself.

Both XP and Vista should do this.

It does but it's rubbish you can only send one file at a time which when your trying to transfer a bunch of pictures is quite tedious. My old dongle came with software from Widcomm which was great it had loads of settings and handy little features not found in the default windows software.

Zaphan58 - I've got some Bluetooth drivers you could try if you want. Add me to MSN sometime.
