Vista - bluetooth drivers

bluetooth drivers

Has anyone had any problems with their bluetooth stack not starting? I had a
Belkin PCMCIA card installed in XP but after upgrading to Vista I get a
message saying the stack failed to start.

Any ideas?

Re: bluetooth drivers

Might be an idea... could be totally wrong... but it may not be the
"Bluetooth" stack itself. Seeing as Bluetooth can be a wide range of
services - COM push, file transfer, dial up networking etc., it could be one
of those, and the "stack" thing caught my eye. Could this be because of the
new networking stack in Vista?

Not 100% sure as I don't have Bluetooth... have you contacted the
manufacturer about drivers for Vista?

Was this an upgrade or a clean install? If you did an upgrade, good luck. If you did a clean install, try this. Take out all your BT software. Plug in the BT device again and let Vista find it again and tell you there are no drivers. It will tell you that there are no drivers for XXXXX device. Go do a search for that device driver. You will get the latest software for it and it will work, more than likely.
