Re: bluetooth conectivity with windows vista

Okay I've checked and ALPS Bluetooth devices definetely use Broadcom chipset. You need to follow the Dev-Hack guide. I've done Steps 2-3 for you so you need to omit these. Instead download and replace the file I'm sending you from the 'Win32' sub-directory.

It should work for sure. You should also be able to run the update. Let me know how you get on.

"Instead download and replace the file I'm sending you from the 'Win32' sub-directory" Im very sorry but this is where my lack of computer knowledge surfaces, I have no idea how to do this.

Re: bluetooth conectivity with windows vista

[ Edited ]
1. Download WidCommmBluetooth5.1.0.1100.zip as instructed on teh Dev-Hack site

2. Open this zip file and extract all the files into a directory

3. Go into this directory - there is a sub-directory 'Win32'
Go into Win32

4. Delete btwusb.ini

5. Download btwusb.ini from the link I sent you in a PM.

6. Copy btwusb.inf that you just downloaded into Win32.

Re: bluetooth conectivity with windows vista

Has it installed the Microsoft Bluetooth stack? If so then try the Broadcom update as above.

If that doesn't work follow the Dev-Hack guide as posted above.

Re: bluetooth conectivity with windows vista

Please read the guide carefully:

http://www.dev-hack.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1297

There are links to all the files that you need. It explains everything you need to do. Follow each step carefully and you can't go wrong.

I am very busy with work until the weekend so I won't be able to reply to any further questions till then.

Good luck!

Re: bluetooth conectivity with windows vista

When you uninstall the devices in device manager DELETE THE DRIVERS.

I'm sorry I'm not going to help you any further unless you read the instructions properly.

Re: bluetooth conectivity with windows vista

You have to DELETE THE DRIVERS FOR THIS DEVICE. You need to check that when you uninstall it. Windows won't have the drivers to install it again.

Re: bluetooth conectivity with windows vista

I'm too kind for my own **bleep** good. Look at this:

http://tinyurl.com/2zvwho

You have to make sure that check 'Delete the driver software for this device'.

If you can't manage that then don't ask me again. Use Google.
