Differences in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Drivers\Active settings on WM 5?

[Nathan]

Customer reported that Axim X51V wasn't returning the same ports as X50V.

The application looks for ports under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active.

Apparently it is not finding Bluetooth Serial Port COM8: and Bluetooth
Serial Port COM7:. These are virtual serial ports - did they move?

Is there a change in Windows Mobile 5 about these settings? There's nothing
mentioned in the migration guide that I can tell.

The x50v uses the Broadcom stack, when they moved to WM5.0 Dell switched to
the MS stack. Ports setup with the MS stack in WM5.0 are held under this
registry key:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Serial\Ports
