I recently insalled a bluetooth usb by IVT which says is compatible with MS
XP. It works fine with my headset but when I'm on a call using skype my
computer randomly reboots. The only help I could find from the error itself
said it was a video problem and to turn the monitor's hardware acceleration
off. This didn't make sense to me since the equipment is audio not video
but I tried it and it did not work. After about a minute on the call the
system rebooted. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
 
Hi Gloria

I can tell you that the bluetooth USB dongle that I have at home made by IVT
is very buggy, I have had many problems with it blue screening my computer
etc., my best advice would be to invest in one of a higher quality, i'm lucky
in the fact that I only use it for transferring photos from my Nokia phone,
the rest of the time I keep it disabled.

Chances are it is probably a driver error, you could see if you could search
for an updated driver but chances are they won't be that easy to get hold of,
the only other thing worth mentioning is that - is you computer up to date,
might be worth visiting www.windowsupdate.com you never know you might even
find an updated driver sitting here.

Kind Regards
