I have spent hours figuring out what's wrong with my Kensington 33348 USB 2.0 dongle on XP x64, finding out BlueSoleil and MS stacks didn't work at all.  With Widcomm stack, I found out it's certainly communicating with my Wii remote because if I use the "Add a Bluetooth device" menu command, I can make a connected state icon and it also goes back to unconnected state icon when I press Wii power button.  Everything is very reproducible.  The only problem is that Wii remote is not recognized in the software I tried (Smoothboard from the Boon Jin and another) with the four blue leds blinking even long after the connection is apparently made. 

I knew that XP x64 had some problem with Wii remote by reading Johnny C. Lee's intro page but I didn't know it is this tricky.  Has anyone succeeded with other brand BT dongle on XP x64?  Any help or comment???  Please???

Hi, Benpaddlejones,
Thanks for such a fast response.
Good news is that I solved the problem
by reading what other guys are talking
about the BlueSoleil.
I never tried BlueSoleil together with
Widcomm stack assuming they may conflict
with one another.  I was WRONG!
Installing them together worked beautifully.
Now it's fun time for me to make an IR LED
glove with a little intensity switch.  =DDD

Thanks!
