Add bluetooth headset

[mahdialkahtib]

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

Hi! Welcome to SevenForums!

Did you recieve a driver or installation disc with your Nokia headset?

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.

now what...

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

acutally there are two things in bluetooth driver in the tree of device manager
1- the dongle driver from broadcom
2- Microsoft bluetooth enumerator

so I made right click on the first one and choose update driver and do the rest of what you have told
me but it says that "Windows determined that the driver is up to date"

then I have uninstalled the driver, restart the machine
and connect the dongle then I couldn't isntall the driver nor update it
now it searching for driver from windows update and there are several
"bluetooth Peripheral Device" are not installed
* while window update is searching I have tried to update the driver and it says the same thing
"windows determined that driver is up to date"

so what to do now
I am sorry that I am asking too much but I need to solve it
thanks

actually there are two bluetooth drivers in the tree of device manager
1- the driver of the dongle which is from broadcom
2- Microsoft Bluetooth Eumerator

so I choose the first one and click right click on it and update driver and choose our folder then windows said:
" Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date".
then I unstalled this driver and make restart, connect dongle
but it said that it doesn't need driver or some thing like that
all buttons in it's properties were disabled and later windows make installation from windows update
while that process I tried to make our step agian and windows said:
" Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date".
now it's back like before every thing fine and it's services but sound cuts and stop directly

what we can make for that

bluetooth headsets!

I have used quite a few different bluetooth headsets but, the best resource I found to get an impartial view on them can be found at http://www.bluetoothheadsetreviewsite.com , they are constantly adding new headset reviews.
