Windows 7: Bluetooth problem....please HELP :|:|

hello frendz...
i am using acer travelmate 5730 laptop...n i have installed windows 7....about bluetooth is dat...i have instaaleed the bluetooth drivers given in acer website...its
"Bluetooth_Broadcom_6.2.1.800_W7x64W7x86_A"...



but after installing the drivers...when i try to send a file .... it says tht no bluetooth device fouind....and also it doesnt recieve any file.....it doesnt search any bluetooth device available...so please help me out...

If you want to send a file to another device via bluetooth, you need to ensure 3 things. One the other device should be bluetooth enabled, two bluetooth needs to be turned on on that device and three Discovery needs to be turned on for that device (that means the device is visible and discoverable).

all the 3 things r enabled and running.....idk it still does not find any devices

Check that bluetooth services are started and set to automatic start on the computer.

Check in the Startup tab in MSCONFIG whether theres a bluetooth entry, if its there tick the box (i.e. it'll start with windows).

Can you see the bluetooth icon in the notification area? Click on it, then click on "Open Settings". This is what it looks on my computer.

yes ther is a bluettoth icon in taskbar...n my 'bluetooth settings'is just the same as urs....and yes it starts wen computer starts.....bt i dnt get the option of send or recieve file.....

1) When you right click on a file, then click Send, is there an option called Bluetooth in the popup list? What happens when you click on it?

2) Click on start orb, Devices and printers, then click Add a device. Does your computer search for one?

If nothing is helping, try uninstalling the bluetooth drivers, reboot, then reinstall. Also, see if you can get another set of drivers.

1. yes i have aoption in the pop up list n wen i click on tht i get 'whr u wna send file'....bt after i clk on next....it says no bluetooth device found.....and exits

2.no it doesnt find any device

In device Manager, do you see Bluetooth? Mine shows like this.



When I double click on the Dell card, this is what I get.



Can you post a snip of what bluetooth card you see in the device manager?

ok...here's the snap.....n i those two devices drivers dnt get installed...

The peripheral devices are not core to the functioning of bluetooth, you should still be able to send and receive files.

Ok, do you have these 2 services running- Bluetooth service and Bluetooth support service?

And in the task manager, can you see these 3 processes- Btstackserver.exe, bttray.exe and btwdins.exe?
