7. Why did I get a virus warning for XInput.dll and SixDll.dll from my antivirus software?
Some antivirus programs generate false-positives against programs that it thinks are suspicious. Be assured there are no viruses in WinDS3 and you can ignore the warnings.

8. When I start Lineage II why does WindDS3 say 'initialize failed'?
Some games using GameGuard prohibit many important system function calls. Just start WinDS3 before the game.

9. Why does it only support 2 controllers?
WinDS3 has been designed to support up to 7 controllers, but it seems the freebt driver has some restrictions on the connection count. There is actually no need to use freebt, so if anyone could provide us with another commercially licensed bluetooth stack SDK it would be much appreciated.

10. Can I use WinDS3 on other computers after I've registered?
Of course - the license code of WinDS3 is binded to the bluetooth adapter, not the PC. If your adapter is portable and you have the corresponding license code it can be used on any machine.

11. Can I use a bluetooth mic while I'm using WinDS3?
Only if you have more than one bluetooth adapter (one for WinDS3, the other for generic devices). However, you can switch between the WinDS3 and original bluetooth driver by clicking [Tools] -> Install Bluetooth Driver / Uninstall Bluetooth Driver.

12. My PS3 controller doesn't pair with my PS3 after I've paired it with WinDS3.
If your controller doesn't pair with your PS3 just connect your controller to the PS3 via a mini USB cable and power the PS3 on. Afterwards, the controller will only pair with your PS3 and not WinDS3.

13.What's the difference between the registered version and unregistered version?
There's no difference other than the 30 minute time limitation on the unregistered version.

14.The X360 controller emulator always shows a 'failed' message in Vista even though I've followed the "take ownership" instructions as described in the help file.
If the "take ownership" tool doesn't work you can try to change it manually:

15.Where can I buy a compatible bluetooth adapter?
You can go to ebay and search for "bluetooth adapter csr" (CSR stands for Cambridge Silicon Radio). Pick up the cheapest one and check it's Bluetooth V2.0 or higher. Also, ask the seller to confirm that the adapter's HCI and LMP version numbers are higher than or equal to version 3.

16.WinDS3 crashes continuously after restarting my computer.
This usually happens when the original bluetooth adapter software conflicts with WinDS3. Please uninstall all the original bluetooth adapter software (including any drivers and tray tools) and start WinDS3 again.For example, uninstalling Bluesolei.

17.I've got more questions - who should I write to?
