Bluetooth for MBP with Windows 7 x32

Hello, I have a mid 2012 MBP with a bootcamp 4.0 partition with 32 bit Windows 7 on it. Everything worked perfectly right from the time of installation except bluetooth. I am trying to connect to my Rocketfish bluetooth headphones. The OSX sides connects flawlessly every time, but Windows will recognize and add the device, but is unable to connect to the device. I have done some research on this problem and most people suggest various ways of installing drivers. However, all the solutions I have tried thus far, in particular the Toshiba bluetooth drivers, do not seem to work for a 32 bit Windows. I was wondering if anyone had a solution for this for a 32 bit version?

thank you Kay. I have installed the new drivers properly. My audio problem is fixed, however I am still getting 3.9 hours of battery life using windows, while on the mac os, I can get close to 7. Can anyone tell me anything I can do to fix this or do I have to wait for the compatible update that apple will release soon?
thanks
Different software can produce very different charge life times, Iamtheone. It may simply relate to different demands placed on processor and HD use by the software you are using under bootcamp when compared to the software being used under OSX. Perhaps it is even simply a measure of the different operating efficiency (power wise) of Windows and OSX 10.6?
What software are you typically using when running bootcamp?

  • Collection query for computers with windows management framework 3.0

    Hi,
    collection query for computers with windows management framework 3.0, but I cant found a way. I cant see that it is in the inventory data for SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.DisplayName.
    So any way to get computers with windows management framework 3.0?
    /SaiTech

    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct on SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ProductName like "Windows Management Framework 3.0%"
    That won't work because as mentioned, it doesn't appear in ARP.
    Torsten's suggestion will work or you can resort to software/hardware inventory using the info at

  • Creative Zen Micro Photo not tested for use with Windows so cant install it! Please help

    Heya! Basically when installing the software for Microphoto it stops saying that as my device hasn't been tested for use with windows it cant install for fear of corrupting my laptop! Can anyone help me overcome this because i installed it aagges ago and it let me have the option of continuing the installating, but i had 2 uninstall it and upon reinstalling it it does not give me the option to continue. It just cancels the installation. Can someone please help me as this is driving me nuts!! Y is it that technology is continuosly mucking up grrrrr!
    Lucy

    Are you runnning Win XP SP2? If so, this is a standard warning about unsigned drivers, but it should still give you the option to "continue anyway" to complete the installation.
    Also, make sure you have Windows Media Player 0, as this is needed for Windows XP (drivers) to recognize your MicroPhoto.

  • I can register an OCX file in Windows 7 x64 without incident but with Windows 7 x32 I get a p-up that says "DllRegisterServer failed with error code: 0x80004005. What gives???

    Hey yeah.  not much else to say.  The title says it all.
    I'm trying to register an OCX file that my video editing application requires to work properly.
    I'm using a  Registry (Regsvr32 and Regsvr64) tool to Register DLL/OCX files.  Both bit Registry tools work fine. I can Register any DLL or OCX file with Windows 7 x64 and everything goes smoothly.
    But, when in Windows 7 x32, again, no problem with merging the Regsvr32 tool, but when I go to register the OCX file message says it was loaded but the DllRegisterServer failed with error: 0x80004005.

    I don't know what happened. 
    My Video Editing software was working fine a few days ago in Windows 7 x64.  Tried using it this morning....couldn't load the .mpg video clip.  Just stood there looking stupid like it does in the 32-bit version of Windows 7.
    I was hoping the x64 version of Windows 7 RC 7100 was going to make a decent run against my XP Pro SP3 setup. When I was able to register the required .ocx file for the video editing application, I thought "cool".  I made a TV recording then used the Video Editor to edit it and it worked fine.  Earlier this morinng I made another TV recording, went to go edit it and the video editing application couldn't load the .mpg file at all.  This problem just annihilated any chance of me ever purchasing Windows 7, 32 or 64-bit.GA P35 DQ6 Mb, Intel Wolfdale 8600 3.33Ghz C2D CPU., 4x2Gb Mushkin DDR2 1066 PC2 8500 Ascents Memory Mods., PNY-nVidia GE Force 8800 GTS (640MB), 4-Western Digital Caviar SATA(2) HDD's (internal), 1 EIDE-USB External; Hauppauge PVR 1600 TV tuner, Dual Monitor: (1) Standard up top, (1) WideScreen below; Altec Lansing Speakers.

  • Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009

    Very very weird,
    it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
    I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
    Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
    She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
    The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
    booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
    Can anyone help?
    I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
    Andrea

    Issue Fixed.
    BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
    The fix has been:
    upgrading OSX to Lion
    Patch to latest release
    Go To Boot Camp Assistant
    Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
    Reboot into Windows 7
    Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
    Reboot
    Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again!

  • Broken ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 for W500 with Windows 7 - 64 bit

    Hello all,
    My setup is Lenovo Thinkpad W500 with Windows 7 - 64 bit
    Display card is a ATI Mobility FireGL V5700
    My graphics drivers used to be functional but now I have lost a lot of functionality (mostly graphics issues).
    My two biggest issues are:
    Many video games will crash/break because of my drivers apparently
    Lost switchable graphics completely (the ability to change from FireGL V5700 to the low power card)
    To clearly state: It is impossible to download these drivers from AMD, AMD themselves tell you to go to Lenovo
    This is because Lenovo is responsible for the display card drivers in their own laptops.
    I have not modified my computer. I believe that Lenovo's updates broke my laptop's functions.
    How do I FIX this??
    Nothing works from Lenovo's website. I've installed all their updates and the issues persist.
    The Lenovo Solution Center tells me that everything is up to date.
    Windows Update tells me everything is up to date.
    I am NOT reformatting my computer, that is a rediculous thing to say when everyone is clearly having this issue.
    What is the deal here? This laptop cost a very large amount of money and now it just broke itself? I don't believe it.

    Ok thank you, this is likely a BIOS related issue now.
    As you can see, Power Manager does not provide a switchable graphics option:
    Device Manager only recognizes the high power graphics card (FireGL V5700) and not the low power card
    Here is my BIOS settings for the display adapter:
         Default Primary video Device: INTERNAL
         Boot Display Device: THINKPAD LCD
         Graphics Device: DISCRETE GRAPHICS
         OS Detection for Switchable Graphics: DISABLED

  • Programming for College with Windows Apps on bootcamp HELP?

    Hello everyone I come to you for help after a long search for the perfect laptop.
    Right now I am using a macbook late 2009 with multitouch. I love the features but after signing up for some programming classes for college I had to revise what laptop I should own.
    My question is if I'll be able to program on bootcamp with Windows 7 with windows applications like Dev C++, Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse, an assembler and the like with 100% compatibility?
    I am on a very low income but I think that Apple really gets it when it comes to mobile laptops. I haven't found anything comparable to a Macbook anywhere. I've seen some imitations like the HP Envy but when you look closely they do not come close.
    Laptop PC makers just don't get it with their 2 hour battery life, "Desktop replacements" and heavy laptops. What is the point of all that if it's not mobile.
    I can only own one laptop and I will upgrade to a 15 inch because I need the screen real state. I'm hoping that the answer will be YES to compatibility with programming applications on Windows 7.
    One last thing, I've heard of Xcode but college teaches on Windows Applications, there is no way around it. I need to use what everyone else is using right now.
    Thank you all.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    running Windows with BootCamp on a Mac is like running Windows on any other given computer.
    Those programs you mentioned shouldn't give you any kind of problems.
    Only very low-level BIOS and/or hardware programming (in assembler) can arise problems due to some differences between Macs and 'other' PCs (like the lack of a full BIOS support).
    Other than that you're good to go.
    Have Fun

  • Virtual PC for Mac with Windows XP Professional

    I have two questions.
    1. My VPC crashed (blue screen of death) on our powerbook G4 15 inch, and it states that the problem is a "unmountable boot volume." Is there I way I can correct this, I have programs on the VPC which would take a long time to reinstall?
    2. I am considering purchasing a Macbook and wonder if I can use the Windows XP professional from my Virtual PC 7 with windows XP professional in boot camp? I doubt it, but thought I should at least ask.

  • Z640 about to order, any dates for shipping with Windows 10 ?

    As I heard rumours that Win 10 may be shipping circa 24th -26th July , i thought I might delay the order so it arrives ( built to order) with Windows 10
    A) anyvody know when the new OS will start shipping?
    B) would experienced users sugggest asking for a down grade to Win7 Pro - or is Windows 10 have a good pre launch rep ( unlike Windows 8 did ).
    When formulating your advice please note Imam crap with computers and the only thing I want to do is add more discs later . No interest in RAID etc. - just want it simple.
    I was going to order with 2 x 16 GB - appreciating that 4 x 8 would be better, but dont want to have to discard RAM later if 32 GB is not enough.
    Will 32 GB be enough - interested in any users real world experience please.....

    I knew you had the knowledge to move the data; but I've seen a lot of folks get into trouble doing it.
    And most have an inflated idea of how much data their systems write.
    What kind of write load do you actually have?
    Virtually all drives provide SMART monitoring of how much data has been written, as well as projected lifespan, and information on expected program/erase cycles is available online. 
    The Samsung 850 Pro, for example, should last 6,000 program/erase cycles.  Being conservative and assuming a really bad 3:1 write amplification (which is an overestimate), imagine being able to write the entire SSD and erase it 2,000 times.
    For a single 512 GB SSD, that would be 1 terabyte of write load per day for almost 3 years.  Remember, you can read it as many times as you like; NAND only wears on erase cycles, which happen during re-writes.
    Most people do not write anywhere near 1 terabyte of data per day.  I use my system heavily and in my case (including it being an SVN server) and I don't even reach 20% of that.  I'm spreading the write load across 4 drives with the RAID
    array so the load on any one device is divided further. 
    But you don't have to guess at what you're writing - what does your SMART data say?
    See this article for some real-world tests/results re: endurance...
    http://techreport.com/review/26523/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-casualties-on-the-way-to-a-petabyte
    With larger SSDs the numbers generally work out so well that people shouldn't even give wearout a second thought.  And everyone should do backups to mitigate potential data loss regardless.
