Tips & Tricks|WMDC / Toshiba BT Stack Workaround

I decided to install the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack on my MSI Wind U123H and surprise surprise it broke Windows Mobile Device Center Bluetooth Syncing. I decided to try a 2 year old fix I did on my then UMPC (SONY VAIO UX280P) running Vista HP and it works on Windows 7.

On the PC.

Open WMDC > Mobile Device Settings > Connection Settings
Make sure Bluetooth is selected under Allow connections to one of the following
Close them windows
Hit Start (Orb) + R (Run command) type in regedit then hit enter

look for SerialPort and modify it to COM7
Exit the Registry Editor and Reboot your PC
Connect as you would :D
