Windows 7: Add bluetooth headset

mahdialkahtib · 28 Dec 2009

Hello,
I have a bluetooth dongle creative CB2436 and it's version 1.2
so I wanted to add My nokia BH-503 bluetooth headset

While adding this problem occured
this message
"Adding the device failed resulting in an unkonwn error. The reported error is: 0x80004005.

by the way I have bought my laptop new Toshiba A500 series and there was no bluetooth in it
and when they shipped it to me there was no CD's with it but said to make recovery CD's so I made them buy a wizard

Fabe, I don't think you need an installation disc, when connecting via Bluetooth.

Go to Device Manager (write Device Manager into start) and look at the Bluetooth dongle's icon. Is there a Exclamation mark next to it?

I only asked since most of the bluetooth headsets I have had came with a small driver \application disc. When researching the error code you get all kinds of different reasons for it. I understand that USB bluetooth devices should be able to pair with what ever device is sending the information to it. But with that error code it seems they are not playing nice together and thought that if a driver was available for the headset it might correct the problem. That was my reasoning behind asking about a driver disc and or application. Fabe

Ah, OK. Perhaps we can find a driver online.

hello people,
thanks for both of you for replying to me,
actually I had installed the a bluetooth driver from broadcom.com and w7 recognized my headset, the problem is that the sound is cutting and stop quickly
but if pause media player and play it agian starts and stop directly

i have tried to record with the headset there was no problem and no cuts.

Right click the dongle in device manager and click update driver.
Select Browse my computer.
In the search section point to where you extracted the drivers.
Windows should auto-install them
