Nokia PC Suite

With a new laptop, usually the first thing I do is to pair my bluetooth-enabled phones with the computer - also a way to check that the bluetooth stack is correctly installed.

However, be careful if you later decide to install Nokia PC Suite or Ovi Suite. Since your Nokia phone is already paired, the Nokia bluetooth drivers will not be correctly installed, and you will end up with three unknown devices in Device Manager (bluetooth peripheral device drivers).

The solution is to unpair your Nokia phone, then start the PC Suite and choose bluetooth connection from within that software. This will initiate the pairing using the code "123", and at the same time correctly install the necessary drivers.
