i have an acesr aspire 5520g with an internal blootooth from widcomm. when i try to install the driver i canȚt do that becouse windows install himself the generic driver. i really don"t like the softer from microsoft. what can i do to have the widcomm softwere? even if i install the widcomm it still works only with microsoft windows
i use win 7 rc x64
Computer right click/ Properties / Advanced System Settings / Hardware / Device Installation Settings / Check Never install drivers from Windows Update.
Try installing the driver from the below site firstly - it may uninstall the generic driver automatically with the installer, if it wont - uninstall the driver in device manager, and reboot, hopefully, the above settings will prevent it from installing.
If the driver wont install normally because of a OS mismatch do the following
To install a driver OR program in compatibility mode - right click the setup.exe file - click properties - click compatibility - check run in compatibility with vista/xp etc - check run as administrator - leave the rest blank. Start setup.exe and install.

still the windows install the driver first
after the reboot , win7 install the generic driver
the widcomm driver don"t work when i install , when i reboot. he never work , only the windows driver for bluetooth work.
the version for widcomm is V6.0.1.3900
You could try the 32 bit driver version - it will install on the 64 bit OS - the version for it is v6.0.1.5000.
Hmmn this was an error by me I thought I read some where 32 bit drivers would install on a 64bit OS, but today I binged the question, and found this is not the case, and 32 bit drivers wont install on a 64bit OS.
And to confirm this I searched Microsoft and found it to be true also -
