Targus BT USB dongle not working
|

| I installed this awhile back. And, per some help here, I forced using
the included Widcomm driver instead of XP's driver. It worked like a
champ.
Recently, I installed some audio recording software. Then, during a
storm, I shut down the pc. When I brought the pc back up the Targus
dongle didn't come on & nothing seems to get it to start. So, I have a
few questions.
1) Is this likely to be electrical, requiring that I buy a new BT
dongle?
If not:
2) will uninstalling & reinstalling the drivers be sufficient or are
there other system files I need to re-install?

I had one and never could get it to work with a Mac. Worked fine with a
PC, but I'm a Macintosh sorta guy. Called their tech support, but I
don't speak Farsi.
Bottom line - took it back and now have one from Kensington. Works
great.
