Hello, I have a Vakoss bluetooth adapter which came with Widcomm drivers. I plugged it in and installed the latest drivers from Broadcomm's site and attempted to connect my Wiimote to my PC (running Vista). I am able to get my PC to recognize the Wiimote as a bluetooth device through the bluetooth wizard, and I am able to add it as a bluetooth device, however whenever I view it through the bluetooth devices icon in the control panel, it only says its connected for a short while and then is never connected again. I'm trying to use my Wiimote with glovepie as a game controller, and glovepie is also unable to recognize it as well. Any help is appreciated.

Try removing the updated stack and load the version that came with the USB radio.

Followup PM to kiruyama:
have you resolved your connectivity problem?



yes, it seems I was so fixated on following the tutorials on the net that I was overly concerned with the number of leds flashing on my wiimote, so I repeatedly thought it was failing to be recognized and instead remained in search mode, when it actually had connected just fine. I also had to enable bluetooth fix in glovepie.
