Solved Drivers for Rapoo Bluetooth Headphones

[denret]

I'm trying get Rapoo Bluetooth headphones to work on Vista 64. They Bluetooth link OK, but Vista
can't find drivers. I contacted the Mfg, they say Vista should supply.....confused.

I checked, and noticed that I am still running SP1. Will installing SP2 help me out with Bluetooth support
or am I going in the wrong direction here??

Yes, install SP2. Let us know if it helps.

After installing, there will be lots of updates to install.

I upgraded to SP2. It did absolutely no good.

I did however finally get the drivers installed.

I used a different Bluetooth dongle.......the one that I had been using was a Version 3. I replaced it with
a Version 2.2, and the drivers loaded on first attempt.

I guess the Rapoo Headset only likes a Version 2 dongle???? I was not aware that bluetooth perhipheral devices
were version sensitive, but I'll be aware of that potential issue in the future.

Have you installed all the updates after installing SP2?

Thanks for the response.

Yes, I did install all updates that "Update" could find.

I also found this download on the M/S support site. Anyone have any experience with it??

Download Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) from Official Microsoft Download Center

I've not installed it yet.

Reading the description of that app, I don't know if you want it or not. I don't have a need for it.

There should be roughly 150 updates after installing SP2.

Even though I've got it working with the Version 2 dongle, I'm going to keep plugging away.

It seems as though the drivers should load to any Version of dongle, but then I don't understanding the relationship between the Bluetooth radio, Vista, and the drivers?
