BlueCove and Bluetooth stack on Windows

Supported stacks

BlueCove currently supports the Microsoft (winsock), WIDCOMM and BlueSoleil Bluetooth stack.

To see which stack is installed for a specific Bluetooth hardware follow those steps on Windows XP

  • Open the Control Panel.
  • Open "System"
  • Click in the "Hardware" tab.
  • Click on "Device Manager"
  • Browse to your Bluetooth device
  • Right click and select "Properties"
  • Click on "Driver" tab.

Or

  • On Desktop find "My Computer" and Select context menu "Manage"
  • In "Computer Management" select "Device Manager"
  • On the top there would be "Bluetooth Devices" or "Bluetooth Radios" see the "Properties"

This is some examples from my system
