Windows 7: belkin bluetooth problem

hi all


installed Windows 7 few days ago managed to get almost everything working apart from one thing this belkin bluetooth dongle f8t017




most of the drivers install fine but i have 3 bluetooth devices with no drivers showing in the device manager despite the latest widcomm driver saying it supports Windows 7

i know one of the devices with no driver is for pim transfer

would be grateful of some help

manage to get the driver installed using xp mode but then it crashes explorer
when i try and go to my bluetooth places

Sorry to bump something so old, but did you ever get this working correctly? I've tried almost everything and i can't get my dongle to work under 7 x64.

It's quite annoying I guess with windows 7 people. Here is a fix to the drivers problems. Because Windows 7 cannot recognise the drivers automatically you'll have to feed the drivers manually. This is how you do it.

Right click on my computer ---Properties
Go to Device Manager (on your left hand top corner)
Go to your bluetooth driver that usually has an ! mark to it
right click update driver software
Browse my computer for software manually
Specify the location where you downloaded drivers from Belkin

I guarantee this will work.

Guarantee it doesn't. That was the first thing i tried.

To update this. I got the Bluetooth working. Know how I fixed it? I went and purchased a pair of AZiO BTD211 dongles and all was good with the world. Works wonderfully under 7 x64

I was able to use my old trendnet dongle by grabing newer drivers for dongles that support win 7 since mine didn't. It took a little effort but it worked well.

I did the same thing with my LCD monitor drivers.
