Vista 64-bit - Bluetooth and Evaluation Version

I have official Toshiba hardware, but the driver that was provided with it is 32-bit and, as such, cannot be installed on the 64-bit version of Vista.
So I downloaded the 64-bit drivers online and found out it's nothing but an evaluation version farce with no possible fix.
Has anyone found a way around this massive oversight for 64-bit users?

I am using the "Toshiba USB 2.0 + EDR" bluetooth adapter. It is working fine for me on XP and Vista 64-bit as well. Maybe you are using just on OEM USB Bluetooth adapter, which has a customized Toshiba Bluetooth stack. In such a case you should check your adapter vendor's website if an update is available for your device.

  • Vista 64-bit + Bluetooth = No Drivers Found

    I just installed Vista 64-bit and pairing my 8900 to my PC to sync via Bluetooth.  I'm using a Linksys USBBT100 Bluetooth dongle.  Sync'ing is working fine, but after pairing my 8900, Vista keeps prompting me to provide drivers for two Bluetooth devices:

    I'm running BlackBerry Desktop Manager v4.7.0.32 [Nov 4 2008].
    Previously on XP, the devices were detected and drivers installed, but I don't remember what the devices were.  However, I'm thinking that one of these is the modem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi, Have you fixed this driver problem yet?  I have a new 64-bit vista laptop and am experiencing a similar problem.  I believe that BlackBerry does not have adequate drivers for 64-bit Vista.
    My old XP laptop is 32 bit and works fine with bluetooth.  However, two of the bluetooth services for blackberry fail under 64 bit and don't install device drivers.  
      I checked the error logs and they indicate that the driver is not loaded or working for Bluetooth with Blackberry devices. My guess is that RIM has not fully developed/teste the 64 bit vista device drivers.  
    The device will work fine in hard-wired USB tethered mode, it just won't work with bluetooth 64-bit vista.
    The upshot is don't use blackberry bluetooth on 64 bit vista, use it with XP.
    Maybe RIM will fix this in the next version of Windows, Windows 7. 

  • Can't HotSync my Tungsten E2 with my Windows Vista 64 Bit System and I'm Upset!!!!!

    By no choice of my own we were dealt the unfortunate hand of having to replace our last computer it died and to fix it was too much so against my better judgement we had to get an HP with Windows Vista 64 bit on it and there's a bunch of things that wont work with it and my Palm Tungsten E2 is one of those things that wont work. 
    I have looked on here before I asked what to do and I've seen something about syncing by bluetooth?  I'm not computer literate so you'll have to speak to me in terms I can understand.  I'm not an idiot but not computer savy.
    I know what a blue tooth is but here's where I'll sound "stupid" is it the same type of bluetooth as you'd use for your phone? 
    I'd really like to get this backed up on our computer because I have alot of info on it and I'm lost without it and I'm tinkled off that now I can't use it.
    Help if you can.
    Thanks,
    Michelle
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Hi Michelle, "BlueTooth" is not something you hold in your hand - it's a wireless radio network used for short-range data transfer.   Much like "FM" or "AM" radios.   There are dozens of devices nowadays that have BlueTooth built into them - GPS units, laptops, phones, PDA's, cars, etc.   (And yes, the little earpiece that people love to show off more often than necessary uses BlueTooth!)  
    Your option is to add BlueTooth capability to your laptop by purchasing a tiny "dongle".  (A dongle is a generic term for any little USB device that protrudes from your computer.)
    There are several ongoing threads about syncing to 'Vista 64 via BlueTooth in this section of the forum.  The key to success in purchasing a BlueTooth dongle is verifying that the dongle does support Vista64...

  • MBP08 Running Vista 32-bit Heat and Battery Issues

    Hi,
    I am a new mac user and have just finished installing Vista Home edition through bootcamp on my new macbook pro. First concern I found was the excessive running temperature (after about 10 mins I was cooking my legs) this has probably already been brought up before but I was wondering whether anyone can bring me up to speed on any possible solutions/fixes?
    Also, vista seems to have a hunger for battery lifek, again anything I should know? If the problem persists, I think I am going to opt out of using boot camp altogether.
    One last thing, is there any performance difference when installing XP? I don;t mind what OS i use, I'd just like the practicality of windows on my mac.
    Thanks in advance.
    - MushMush146

    Sorry I did not see that you specified what MBP you had in your signature.
    Anyways: In windows your battery gets drained a little quicker because windows can only work with the external video card (9600 M GT), so you can compare it with running in High Performance all the time.
    Windows XP is a little faster then Windows Vista (32 bit) because XP uses less resources. 32-bit systems are always limited to 3.3 GB of RAM, so your Vista is not using all of the 4GB RAM you have on your MBP. You can consider installing Windows Vista 64 bit or Windows XP instead, you will have more RAM and therefore a faster computer.
    Note that Leopard is not really a 32 bit system, it also has a 64 bit library (and can handle up to 6GB RAM). The hardware in your MBP is fully 64 bit and can handle up to 8 GB RAM. Snow Leopard is going to be a 64 bit system. (and can theoretically handle up to 128 GB of RAM)
    I have no answer for you for the heat issues... probably a driver problem everyone is struggling with. Time for a Bootcamp version 2.2...

  • Vista 64 bit CS3 and CS4 compatibility

    Hi,
    I have a new computer on the way with a Vista 64 bit OS (home premium). I have CS3 Web Standard and recently upgraded to CS4 Design Premium. I've deactivated on my old machine and am hoping to install CS3 and CS4 on the new machine, once it arrives in a few days. Will these creative suites be compatible and install on the 64 bit Vista OS?
    When I upgraded, I think the upgrade required me to have CS3 on the computer, so I suspect in order to put CS4 on the new machine, CS3 will first have to be installed.
    Has anyone successfully installed CS3 and then a CS4 upgrade on Vista 64?
    Kind Regards,
    saratogacoach

    Thanks, Bob.
    The new computer arrived a few hours ago, and I successfully installed CS4, only needing the serial number for CS3.
    The machine has the new Core i7, but with 6G's of RAM, not 8. So, I'm hoping that the programs will run OK.
    Again, thanks for your help.
    Kind Regards,

  • Bluetooth Manager - evaluation version

    I just started using Toshibas' Bluetooth Manager. It says it is the evaluation version - I think because the USB dongle I am using is not Toshiba.
    This does work however - question is :-
    What happens after the 30 day evaluation period - does it just continue or do I have to fing another bluetooth prog ?

    > I just started using Toshibas' Bluetooth Manager. It says it is the evaluation version - I think because the USB dongle I am using is not Toshiba.
    Personally, I have never met such problem. You can try to update Bluetooth manager.

    There should be no evaluation period.

  • Problems with NiMath-library and Evaluation version

    I'm evaluating Measurement Studio with the Evaluation version together with Visual Studio .NET 2003 (VC++). Always when I write a program that uses functions in the NiMath library I got problems when linking. I got the same errors when I try to build any of the including Math examples. When I'm not using functions in NiMath everything works.
    Example
    I create a project and add the following lines
    CNiReal64Vector m_wave;
    CNiMath:ineWave(m_wave, 100, 1);
    When i build the following errors appears:
    test error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: int __thiscall NI::CniDemo::Access(void)" (?Access@CniDemo@NI@@QAEHXZ) referenced in function "public: static enum NI::MathError __cdecl NI::CNiMath::ImpulseWave(class NI::CNiScalarVector<double> &,double,int)" (?ImpulseWave@CNiMath@NI@@SA?AW4MathError@2@AAV?$CNiScalarVector@N@2@NH@Z)

    /pek

    Hello!
    I couldn’t find anything reported about this on our portal but I found some similar issues that might help you out.
    Things to check:
    Linking directories are not set correctly. Go to Tools>>options>>directories and add all the directories for the include files and lib files. This should get your program linking up.
    Have you made sure that all of the necessary .lib files are properly linked to?
    In order to resolve this external symbol you will have to provide the necessary files to the linker by either listing the files in your project file list (right-click on your project in the file view and select "add files to project...") or by going into your project's settings and entering the path to the files for which to link (go to Project >> Settings..., select the Link tab, select Input from the drop-down menu, and put the paths you want to add in the Additional Library Path field).
    Hope this helps!

  • Vista 64 bit OS and iTunes

    I am getting an error message when initializing iTunes.
    iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's
    you need to reinstall iTunes.
    I uninstalled, cleaned the reg, and reloaded a few times.

    iTunes doesn't officially support 64 bit Windows and the 64 bit Gear drivers you need for burning arn't supplied. You can download them from here:

    A number of people also had problems with the creation of the CD configuration folder, but as your iTunes is working, I guess that doesn't apply to you.

  • HP Pavilion dv2700 Windows Vista 32-bit speakers and microphone

    Hi,
    I would like to seek expert opinion on the following two issues:
    1. I am having this issue with audio playback on my notebook PC. I see that when I play any audio file from the Internet or even the sample audio clips on Windows, the audio is output only from the right speaker. The left speaker remains muted. I have checked all the settings and they appear normal. 
    2. I recently installed skype on my notebook, but when I make a call I can see that the other party is not able to listen to my voice. I tried with and without headphones, and there is the same effect. There is a mechanism for testing the microphone in the skype application, and using the test I could see that the microphone is working. 
    Please suggest how these issues could be resolved.
    TIA
    Vin

    Hello simply310,
    Since you are having so many problems you are likely looking at the best recourse of action to be replacing the motherboard. With so many capacitors going bad and you are getting the BSOD errors (likely due to the capactiors) the best recourse is a replacement.
    Since you are out of warranty you can attempt fixing them yourself, but I wouldn't recommend it.

  • FireFox 4 and earlier versions will not install on my Windows Vista, 64 bit computer. The file downloads and the file extracts but I never make it to the installation wizard.

    I have tried to download FireFox 4 and earlier versions from several different website, thinking the files might have gotten corrupted, and each time I download the file the exact same thing happens, the file downloads and the file gets extracted but when the extraction completes the small window dissappears and nothing else happens.
    My machine is a Windows Vista 64 bit system and I've tried downloading the file with my 32 and 64 bit Internet Explorer but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me please because I would love to be able to completely delete I.E.

    Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. Well you must have been doing it right, since all of your Flash files for IE and FF are correct.
    The SWF plugin for FF and the SWO for IE are also correct.
    You shouldn't be having any problems with Flash Player.
    What you can try is to turn off the hardware acceleration feature. Go to any video, like youtube and right click on the video and click on Settings. Display Settings is where you will UN check hardware acceleration.
    See if that helps. Let me know.
    Thanks,

    Hi there!
    Please see  this thread for the download links for the Fingerprint Software 5.8 ....
    This issue was already raised in the ThinkVantage subforum here at Lenovo Forums and it is resolved.
    Regarding the Turbo Memory, please keep in mind that the hardware only works with Vista. Windows XP does not support turbo memory thus the piece of hardware is rendered useless. With regards to Turbo Memory usage in Vista, the latest drivers do fully support the card in Vista and since there are no technological changes, there is no need for additional or new drivers.
    Hope this helps!

  • Vista 64-bit and Treo 600 Hotsync solution that works!

    I too searched many, many forums and sites for a solution to this problem. And I have found it.
    I have an HP dv9260 laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and Office Pro 2007, which I bought in June this year. And I have been unable to sync my Treo 600 to it - until now. (I had even resorted to syncing to my older Toshiba Tablet PC (WinXP Pro, Office Pro 2003) via standard USB sync cable, connecting the Tablet to the new HP with a Belkin Easy Transfer cable, exporting my updated Contacts, Calendar, and InfoSafe records to .vcf, .ics, and .txt files, then transferring between the HP and Tablet, and then importing them into the appropriate app - Whew! man what a pain.
    Now I have found a far more elegant and simple method. I found an Infrared USB 2.0 adaptor (dongle) at the Chunwai_1996 store on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-USB-2-0-IRDA-ADAPER-4Mbps-SUPPORT-VISTA_W0QQitemZ110164766509QQcmdZViewItem) for $8.33 USD + $5.67 USD S&H (total $14.00 even) (I believe that the price is now $12.49 USD + $5.67 S&H.) , which said it supported and supplied drivers for 64-bit Vista. It took a little over two weeks to receive the device from Hong Kong (received yesterday, 08-31-2007).
    I checked the mini CD that shipped with it but found no Vista drivers. So I just plugged it into a USB port on the laptop. Vista immediately recognized the dongle and installed generic Vista 64-bit drivers from Microsoft. I tested the unit by placing the Treo near it. The unit recognized the Treo as a legitimate device! Next, I followed the directions I found in another thread that had been successful with USB 2.0, Vista 32-bit drivers, and the Treo 600, with one slight modification. Here is a repost from the Vista-Help.ca blog by Kerry Brown, verbatim except for a couple of modifications and few additional steps.
    =============================================
    Palm Treo 600 with Vista and Office 2007
    I've had a lot of people ask about how I got my Treo 600 phone to sync with Outlook 2007 in Vista so I thought I'd write up the procedure. Hopefully Palm will have new Vista compatible software soon but in the meantime here's how I got it working on two computers so far. First you have to use Vista x86. I couldn't get it to work with Vista x64. If you've already tried to get it working then you have to clean up all the leftover stuff before continuing.
    1. Uninstall Palm Desktop
    2. Insert the CD that came with the Treo but don't let it autorun.
    3. Navigate to the correct language folder on the Treo CD and right click on setup.exe
    4. Set the compatibilty for XP SP2 and Run as administrator.
    5. Run setup.exe
    6. During the install the initial sync may fail. Just tell the installation to continue.
    7. If you want to sync with Outlook make sure you pick this option during the install
    8. Once it's finished close the Hotsync System Tray application.
    9. In Windows Explorer go to the Palmone folder in Program Files.
    10. Right click hotsync.exe and set it to run in administrator mode with XP SP2 compatibility.
    11. Do the the same for palm.exe.
    12. Start the Palm Desktop and change the Hotsync settings to manual start.
    -and- 12a. ******* Check the Infrared option to make it active and available *******
    13. Exit Palm Desktop and reboot.
    You should now be able to sync the Treo 600 with Outlook 2007 or Palm Desktop. You will have to manually start the Hotsync application and deal with a uac prompt because it is set to run in administrator mode. The sync only works when Outlook is not running. You also have to sync twice. The first time you will get errors about the default folders for Outlook. Ignore the errors and press the sync button again. If it still doesn't work reboot and try it again. Good luck. Let me know if you find an easier procedure.
    =====================================================
    After rebooting the laptop, I performed the following additional steps:
    A. Manually started the Hotsync app (you can put it in the Startup folder to auto load at Startup).
    B. Set the Custom options to "Desktop overrides Handheld" for Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes - this may help avoid duplicates from the first Hotsync. Also, this is just a temporary override from the default setting "Synchronize the files" for each selection.
    C. Selected Hotsync on the Treo and enabled the Infrared option.
    D. Pressed the Hotsync 'button' on the Treo and placed it pointing at the Infrared dongle.
    The Hotsync ran to completion without errors! Though it did take a good deal longer since it only runs at 115.2 kbps vs. the 480 Mbps of USB 2.0, I am happy.
    Hope this helps others with Vista 64-bit systems and Palm OS handhelds.
    Cheers.

  • After rebooting my Windows Vista 64 bit system, could not access iTunes; after uninstalling I tried reinstalling, but it has been running for more than 24 hrs. Should I cancel installation?

    I had been updating my Windows Vista 64 bit system and as a result of a problem, had to reboot my system. Afterwards, I was no longer able to access iTunes.  I got a message stating that there was a problem with some of the files associated with the application.  A phone rep at Apple's Customer Service provided me with emails linking instructions on completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I did the uninstall, then checked for lingering iTunes files and couldn't completely remove some, but tried intalling the latest version of iTunes. It has been running for roughly 24 hours.  The status bar is green all the way across, and when I try to cancel, I get the following message: "Are you sure you want to cancel iTunes installation?"  I keep hitting "no," but am staring to wonder if there is a problem with the install.  Should it take this long if I have roughly 134 gigs of music?  I can still see the music in my computer's C drive, so I am worried that there is an error, perhpas because I didn't clear out all the lingering C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and all the lingering C:\Program Files\iTunes\.  Any thoughts?

    It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.

  • Itunes 7.4.1.2 - Vista 64 bit - unable to import or burn cd

    Hello.
    Last night I installed Itunes 7.4 on my vista 64 bit box and kept getting the error that ITunes had installed incorrectly and I would not be able to import or burn cds.
    I then tried repairing and uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Then this morning I tried downloading and installing 7.4.1 and am still getting the same error.
    The about menu tells me that the cd driver dll is unavailable.
    Can anyone please help out?
    Cheers,
    David

    iTunes is not supported on any of the 64-bit versions of Windows, so you will not be able to get any official assistance from Apple (and they don't provide any technical support in the Discussions anyway; these forums are, with rare exceptions, user-to-user only). You can search the forum for "64-bit" and see what people are suggesting in other threads. One suggestion I've seen is that you need the 64 bit Gear drivers. You can download them from here:
