bluetooth keyboard, keypad and mouse freezing up

Update the Keypad and Mouse drivers :)

Hi kcwebmonkey and Welcome to SF!!

Download and run DriverView

R-click and "Select All" (Ctrl+A) in DriverViews opened window and then Save. Attach the saved .txt file to your original post. We may be able to spot which drivers, if any, need updating.

Thanks fimble, I've attached the DriverView report to my original post. I'm not sure if I have the latest Bluetooth drivers or not because I couldn't find out where to update the drivers and Windows Update doesn't show that I need any.

Windows Updates and Device Manager are known to "update" your drivers to older versions.

Always use your PC manufacturers Website, motherboard manufacturers Website or hardware manufacturers

Website for driver updates.

Lenovo? Visit their website first and check for driver updates.

There's one odd driver among your bluetooth drivers and that's only because of its name:

Code:

==================================================
Driver Name       : btusbflt.sys
File Type         : Network Driver
Description       : Widcomm Bluetooth USB Filter for Windows XP
Version           : 6.3.5.430
Company           : Broadcom Corporation.
Product Name      : Bluetooth Software

==================================================

It may be worth checking through Broadcom Support that

you have the right drivers. No doubt you have.

Your Conexant Modem drivers could do with updating:

Really I think you ought to either have this thread moved to, or a start a new one in

Hardware and Devices

thanks for your help. I downloaded the Broadcom Bluetooth updater and it updated several drivers. We'll see if this fixes the issue!

Thanks Again

Glad to have helped.

G'Luck!! :)

Had similar issues with MS bluetooth mouse 5000. In my case, was interference issue, I believe, between wireless network and bluetooth both using 2.4G connection. I have dual band router, and as soon as I reset my connection to the 5G band, my bluetooth mouse started performing normally.

That's why I'm quite happy with my wired mice and keyboards. I have no urge or need to be more than 1.8m away from the monitor when operating the PC.
