I've read such stories with some OEM USB BT devices. What happens if you try some full retail device?

I bought a USB bluetooth dongle so I could connect my computer with my IPAQ 1945 (with builtin bluetooth). I installed the software, but when I tried to set upt the handheld, it wanted to use com 8 as the inbound port and come 5 as the outbound port. Then the program would not let me setup an unpaired connection. I then put in a password in my IPAQ and entered it into the bluetooth program on my desk computer and it still could't connect. I keep getting the bubble on my bluetooth icon on the system tray that a device (my IPAQ) wants to connect, but when I press connect on my destop program, or active sync it cannot connect. Any Help out there? The company's website is no good since the only supply OEM devices and claim the dealers can modify the software.
