    Hi everybody!
    I'm trying to get the bluetooth activated in my winxp installation in Parallels 6. I'm running snow leopard on my macbook.

    I've tried several tricks that I've found on the net, among them this one: http://www.mattiouz.com/blog/2007/0...t-in-mac-bluetooth-in-windows-under-parallels

    I have yet to get it to work. Most of the threads I find are from 2006-2007 and are for parallels 3-4 and tiger/leopard. The solutions that worked then won't work now.

    I've tried googling how to install bluetooth drivers for winxp in parallels for mac, but I've had no luck so far.

    The only solution I've found that might work is to buy USB dongles, but that is not an option for me since the whole purpose of using the bluetooth is so that I can connect my phone(Sony Ericsson Cedar) to it and not need to have cables etc. connected to the computer.


    Any suggestions or solutions?

    P.s I've tried this solution:

    But I'm having trouble with step 4-7 since my mac doesn't have a cd/dvd drive. I tried putting my osx snow leopard usb stick in but either that didn't work or I just couldn't figure out how to do it.
