Default Please help me install Belkin dongle on Win98 machine! Desperate!

I have nearly no hair left.
I have been trying to install a Belkin BT [F8T003_2.11] dongle for 2
weeks...yes, 2 weeks.
Tried everything *within my knowledge* and the end result is always the
same;

Small blue/red icon in sys tray.
Blue/white desktop icon [My Bluetooth places] which gives 'Bluetooth device
not found'. Every time.

I have completely uninstalled all BT software (except reg entries?) many
times.
I have tried updating ALL drivers. Supplied disk is 1.4.2.11
I have read MANY articles in newsgroups and forums - mostly from people with
similar problems and tried to fix problems from sparse replies where
applicable to Win98 installs. Not many.

Installation seems to vary everytime;

Sometimes installs a 'Microsoft TV/Video connection'
Sometimes tries to install 4x 'Composite USB devices'. This fails as I can't
seem to locate correct drivers. Do I need these?
Sometimes asks for windows files that are ALREADY there.
Sometimes installs BTW device - Belkin Bluetooth device.
I now have 11 'Bluetooth Serial Ports' ports - Com4 to 14 (Surely not
right?)
etc...

My PC just cannot 'see' my dongle ie. BTWizard fails.
I suspect this is a Win98 and/or USB issue...in which case I'm in the wrong
group! :+/

Do I need to set 'Microsoft Network'? Do I need to activate 'file sharing'?
Has *anyone* successfully installed this dongle on 98?

PLEASE help. I really need to get this working.
More info/logs available if required.
Thanks.
