Bluetooth software not working in Windows XP SP2

Not sure why but when I install the latest MacBook Pro drivers Bluetooth is not installing.
I can't see it in the Control Panel but the Device Manager has it listed as Working Properly.
No where do I see where I can setup Bluetooth devices

If you'll check out the Boot Camp Faq's, you will find this is one of several items not yet supported.

  • Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

    Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.  the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties  I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device?  IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

    Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver.  I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update.  After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

  • Bluetooth is not working with Windows 8.1 on U410 touch

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo U410 touch, and i just upgraded to windows 8.1 though the store.
    And the bluetooth is not working at all, it says that the PC is searching for Bluetooth devices. While everything was working great before.
    I have updated all the drivers from the Lenovo websites and still nothing is working
    I went to device manager and checked under bluetooth: Intel (R) Centrino Wireless Bluettoth 4.0 + High Speed. Microsoft Bluettoth Enumator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE enumarator all 3 are up to date.
    Then I went to network connections (from the start) and i have a red cross under Bluettoth network connection 2 and says not connected.
    My windows is also up to date
    I really think gooing back to Windows 8 since i cannot listen to my music on my beatbox and connect to my phone and tablet,
    Thank you for your help

    hi erabbath,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
    1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
    2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.
    Sample picture
    Let me know your findings.
    Regards
    Thank you very much for your answer,
    I went to Control Panel  > Devices and Printers and i tried to add a new device as the bluetooth doesn't appear this is what i got. By the way the bluetooth was on.
    Link to picture
    And this is what i have on the Bluettoth
    And it search endlessly whereas before the upgrade it was working properly,

  • Bluetooth driver not working on Windows 10

    Hello everyone, I upgraded my PC from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 today. Everything else is working fine but the bluetooth driver seems to be incompatible. I had the 'Mediatek (Ralink) bluetooth software driver for Windows 8.1' installed earlier, which doesn't work with Windows 10. I checked with the Ralink website and the HP driver support but didn't find anything as yet.  My question is, will the driver for Windows 10 be made available soon?thanks

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 15-n010tx Notebook and issue with drivers for Bluetooth and Windows 10. Here is troubleshooting when drivers are not available yet. Have you tried in the Device Manager to update the driver that is currently installed? In the device manager try selecting find new hardware.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. It has a Wireless support assistant inside it that might help you. The updated drivers will be posted as available. We are seeing them update regularly. I would check back to your drivers page. I hope this helps. Thanks.  

  • Bootcamp bluetooth mice not working in windows 7 pro

    I have an early 2008 MBP and just installed Windows 7. I cannot, for the life of me, get either of my bluetooth mice to connect in Windows 7. Both worked in XP and both work in Mac OS. The install is a clean one, not an upgrade. The mice are an older Logitech MX Revolution BT mouse and a Razer Orochi. During setup, they appear to connect, but don't. On second try, the bluetooth connection window just keeps spinning while connecting to the mouse (no system or app hangs, just no activity.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, alrich68.
    Just before I checked your reply, I found a VERY similar post on MacRumors with a couple more steps and clarification on why the problem exists -
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=630024
    gloss wrote
    It took me two hours, but I fixed this last night.
    First off, you need to go into Mac OS and remove the keyboard and mouse from your Bluetooth settings entirely. You'll add it back in later.
    Boot into Windows.
    Click on the Bluetooth control panel, and go to settings. Under Hardware, it probably says 'Generic Bluetooth Adapter'.
    Click 'Properties' and 'Change Settings'.
    Go to drivers, and 'Update Drivers'. Have Windows look on your machine to find all available drivers ('Let me pick from a list')
    UNselect 'Show Compatible Drivers'.
    Look for 'Apple' in the manufacturer names, then select the Apple Bluetooth Driver. Install.
    Once this is done, pair your keyboard through the wizard. It should now bring up a passcode and confirm it much more quickly than before.
    Once this is done, go back to Bluetooth settings and return the Drivers to 'Windows Generic'. If you leave it on the Apple drivers the keyboard will disconnect randomly and frequently.
    Your keyboard will now be paired, but won't work. Go to the Device Manager, right click on the entry for the wireless keyboard.
    Click on 'services'.
    It should bring up a single entry for keyboard/mouse HID services. Click this and press Apply or OK. After it installs, you should be golden.
    There are two issues here - one is that Mac OS seems to 'reserve' the Bluetooth device such that it won't pair correctly with any iteration of Windows while it's already paired in OSX. It works fine the other way around, however, so you need to make sure it's set up in Windows before Mac OS.
    Second, there's a Bluetooth driver issue in Windows 7 such that it won't pair with the keyboard - it'll run through the steps, but the keyboard itself will not appear to actually 'get it'. Switching to the Apple drivers briefly will ameliorate this and allow proper pairing, but to actually keep the keyboard working you should use the built-in drivers.
    Thanks again alrich68. Seeing the instruction worded in two slightly different manners, suddenly made sense. I now have the Mighty Mouse working as well! Work the first try!!
    Chock another one up for the user base being more inventive and imaginative than the Apple engineers!!
    I agree with other comments, that this solution SHOULD have been released as an official Apple Support post, and not having to rely on the user base to struggle with this problem to ultimately figure out a solution.
    BTW - for those who may think apple actually reads these posts, they typically don't unless someone calls in on Apple Care and points out the problem and posts to the support tech. The forum is USER managed. So, unless someone actually calls Apple Care or sends an offical http://www.apple.com/feedback/ post, Apple does not know what happens here.
    Anyway, thanks again!

  • Bluetooth Mouse not working in Windows 7?

    Just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on an iMac i5 with 20Gb
    Everything installed correctly and W7 boots fine, even did the drivers for bootcamp before the full Windows install
    Thing is I have the Apple slim Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse (that come with the iMac) it seems that the Mouse just will not respond??
    The keyboard is working?? on Bluetooth but not the mouse and as i dont have a corded one to hand i am trying to navigate the whole Windows with my keyboard!!
    please help how do i get Windows to see my Apple Mouse under bootcamp??

    my exp is that my magic trackpad unlike in osx require ment to click it before it turn on and begin to respond to touch

  • VN7-791G bluetooth devices not working after Windows 10 upgrade

    After upgrading to Windows 10 on my 2 month old Acer VN7-791G, my Logitech bluetooth mouse could not pair, my bluetooth speakers could not pair and neither could by Nexus 7.  All these devices were working fine on Win 8.1 earlier. Under Device Manager, only the generic Windows Bluetooth, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and LE Enumerator drivers were showing (dated  21/6/2006).  Under Network adapters, the driver showing was the Qualcomm Atheros QCA64x4 ver 10.0.0.62 dated 18/5/2015. I checked that this model is indeed compatible under ACER's website for Windows 10.  I have also been checking the ACER drivers for Win 10 for this model but there are no new updated ones for Bluetooth. I downloaded the Win 8.1 ones and installed them but they still would not work (the Microsoft ones are still showing under Device Manager). I had to actually downgrade back to 8.1 a few days ago due to this issue but thought I would try to update to Windows 10 again hoping it would work but still no luck.  I had googled but can't seem to find a solution and suspect that I need an updated bluetooth driver for Windows 10 from Acer or Broadcom.  The Atheros website do not have any Windows 10 bluetooth drivers as well. I may have to downgrade again and try again in a few months time unless someone could please point me in the right direction. Thank you.  

    Yay! Success at last!  Well, I had to resort to drastic measures which I was dreading and delaying. Basically, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 Then Reset PC to Factory Setting.  This wiped out all data and applications/programs After getting back to default Windows 8.1, I tried pairing my bluetooth mouse and it worked I then immediately installed Windows 10 (from ISO file downloaded earlier) off a USB stick I chose the option for a clean install (this doesn't load any of the ACER bloatware) Once logging into Windows 10,I went into Device Manager and uninstalled all Bluetooth drivers Then I ran the setup for the Windows 8.1 Atheros bluetooth drivers as suggested - "LITE-ON Bluetooth_M 3rd WiFi 2x2 AC+ BT M.2 QCA NFA344_3.0.0.373_W81x64" I tried pairing my mouse and Nexus 7 and it works!!! For reference, here is my setup under Windows 10 after successfully pairing bluetooth devices. btw, interesting to see that the event log still reports some error about further installation just like earlier - probably indicates that the Win 8.1 Acer drivers are not 100% compatible yet.     

  • Fn+Del Not Working in Windows XP SP2

    I recently purchased a MacBook (2.2 GHz, 120 GB HD, 1 GB RAM, etc.) and decided to install Windows XP SP2 via Boot Camp. I followed all the instructions and it looks like Windows XP installed succesfully. However, I'm now experiencing a small problem. The Boot Camp help and instructions state that Fn+Del will function as the Windows delete key, but this doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any advice on how to fix this, or is something wrong with the Keyboard drivers that has to be fixed by Apple?
    - Marc

    Myself and others have had the same problem. The other thing that doesn't work is PrintScreen (fn + F11). I have the exact same MacBook as you. I created a thread about this same problem in this forum back in November, and there was no "official" fix. But now I use AutoHotKey (autohotkey.com), and you can create any keyboard shortcut on your own. Instead of Fn + delete, I created a shortcut for command + delete to do a Windows Delete. I also made shortcuts for PrintScreen, Page Up, Page Down, etc.

  • Wireless not working on windows xp sp2

    Hey guys, I just installed windows xp sp2 on my mac, followed all the steps, installed all mac drivers... but i can't connect to my home network... I already rebooted my router, checked the filtering, everything is ok.
    My network is available but when i try to connect it says that is not in range, but the signal is full.
    Please help me, i really need to fix this
    Thanks

    Are you using WPA2 for Wireless Security ?
    If so, then you need a patch from Microsoft to enable WPA2 with XP SP2, which can be found on Microsofts Download site.
    The SP3 for XP has that patch incorporated.

    On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK to start the uninstall process.

  • Printer Software not Working for Windows 8.1 and Drivers not Working with USB 3.0

    We have a HP CM1312 MFP. We recently got two new windows 8.1 machines. We tried downloading and installing the windows 8 64 bit software, but everytime we tried installing the software the software program would exit abruptly. 
    We then tried just downloading the printer drivers and installing these. They installed ok, but when we tried to connect the printer via USB it said the printer did not support USB 3.0 which are the only ports we have on the new computers. 
    Is there a solution to either of these problems? Without the software we cannot use the fax or scanner. 
    Thanks.

    Can you connect USB 2.0 data drives?
