    Hi I picked up this blue dongle from somewhere but I don't know what it it or what it does. It is a small blue usb just like a thumbdrive if smaller, and says Eurosoft (www.eurosoft-uk.com) on one side - like it was a freebie at a conference or something. When I plug it into a usb slot I get the ding-dong chimes and the pop up that says my new hardware is installed.

    When I look for new hardware in device manager tho, I don't see anything new, it's not a storage device because nothing comes up in My computer.

    So here's the question. How do I work out what it is ?

    Thanks :rolleyes:

    Dongle could be anything

    Yes it could be to enable Blue Tooth, or for security in to a software application, or could be used to change the personality of a hardware device, etc...
