    Hello,

    I recently did a new install of XP in Parallels. I want to use my iMac's built in bluetooth in XP, so I go to the Parallels menu, Devices, USB and click on "Apple - Wireless". After I do this I go back to the menu and see that "Apple - Composite" is checked, but "Apple - Wireless" is no longer on the list. (In other words, "Apple - Wireless" turned into "Apple - Composite")

    XP does not see any bluetooth hardware when "Apple - Composite" is checked.

    In my other XP partition (bootcamp) I have no problem sharing "Apple - Wireless" (it stays "Apple - Wireless) and using the bluetooth hardware in XP.

    For what it is worth, there is no Bluetooth control panel on the non-bootcamp partition.

    I've searched all over and haven't found any answers for this issue.

    Thanks,
    qwerty86

    Anyone have any ideas on this one? I have a bluetooth GPS that works in OS X, and I'd like to get it to work in XP too.
