help please Bluetooth Headset on X200s - Broadcom Windows 7 Driver Not Installing

So just installed Win7 RTM (v 7600) on a X200s. I have a Plantronics 510 Bluetooth headset that I use for VOIP. I followed the connecting instructions (just as I've successfully done with other Lenovos) and gone through 1 failed attempt (which happened on the RC version 7100 too). WIn7 happily recommends I download the newest Broadcom Driver at http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php
I download this driver install kit and when I attempt to install it I get an error immediately. (this worked fine for me on my old X61s)
"The program cannot upgrade your software. Please contact the manufacturer of your bluetooth device for support."
The problem with this is that Plantronics relies on the built in BT driver to work. I had a challenge on my older X61s (discovered it wasn't installing due to internal firewall issues) but knowing that, I took the X200s home and tried the install at home, off of corp net.
I've been able to connect successfully to other Bluetooth devices (like my mobile phone) but the BT headset won't take any drivers. Broadcom's "support" is anything but supportive.
I've uninstalled (through device manager) the BT Peripheral Device & scanned for hardware changes. Still get the same failure.
Anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone run into this problem also and found a solution or workaround?  Thanks in advance.
Windows 7 Build 7100
X61S

On my X200t with W7 RTM x64 I came across the same issue.
First I went through the process of trying the W7 beta from Broadcom with the same result.
Then I used the unpacked driver-only from the lastest official Lenova Vista X64 package, which allowed it at least to be properly recognized. The headset however remained fully unoperable.
I ended with a full install of the Vista X64 package and now the headset works fine. Not a single issue anymore.

  • Help please! Ipod Classic appears in Windows but not Itunes: Tried Troubleshooter and TS1363

    Hi There,
    My ipod classic won't sync with itunes It appears in windows 7 and itunes even opens when the device is attached. Unfortunately the device doesn't appear in itunes and consequently won't sync. I have tried using the troubleshooter but to no avail and have also tried the suggestions in the help article TS1363, also to no avail! Performing the diagnostic in itunes reveals that the ipod is attached and performing correctly according to itunes but there is a problem syncing. I'm stuck as to what to do next! Help!
    Hoping you can make me smile again
    Thank you

  • Hp Officejet Pro 8600 on Windows 8.1 driver not installed

    Using Windows 8.1 and HP Officejet pro 8600.  The printer is installed on a wireless network.  But on Device Manager, it says "driver not installed".   Most printing tasks are successful, but for some I need to have the driver installed on the computer.  I have tried troubleshooting, but am unsuccessful.  I would appreciate help.  Thanks

    Hi emax,
    Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address. Printing a Network Configuration Page.
    If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
    Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
    If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
    Power cycle the router, computer and printer.
    Try printing again.
    If the issue persists, add a new device if the IP address is valid.
    Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, and then click Search.
    In the Search box, type HP, and then click the icon for your printer. The printer software opens.
    Click Utilities, and then click Printer Setup & Software Selection.
    Click Connect a new printer.
    Test the printer over the wireless network.
    Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
    What is the printer's first 3 sets of numbers for the IPV4 address?
    Could you access the printer's EWS?
    Were you able to add a new device?

  • Windows - Drive Not Ready - isFile()

    When checking to see if a file [using isFile() ] exists on a drive I get this dialog error message in Windows XP:
    Windows - Drive Not Ready
    Exception Processing Message c00000a3Parameters 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c
    I get this message if there is no media in the drive such as if I make the check on an empty floppy drive.
    Is there any way to check if their is a media in the floppy drive before deciding to check if there is a certain file on it with isFile()?
    Trying to catch the error does not seem to work - the error seems to originate from somewhere in the OS rather than from java.
    How do I get rid of this error message? I have upgraded to JDK 1.5 - the problem did not occur in JDK 1.2 so somehow that earlier version was able to avoid this problem.
    This is part of the code:
    String iniFileName = DEFAULTINIFILENAME;
    File[] possibleRoots = getAllPossibleRoots(); // Mostly a call to File.listRoots() with some fixes
    File possibleIniFile = null;
    Vector allFoundIniFiles = new Vector();
    for (int possibleLocationNo = 0 ; possibleLocationNo < possibleRoots.length ; possibleLocationNo++) {
    possibleIniFile = new File(possibleRoots[possibleLocationNo], File.separator + iniFileName); if (possibleIniFile.isFile()) {
    allFoundIniFiles.add(possibleIniFile);
    } // if
    } // for

    This should run on its own - just compile it and run it on Windows XP - using jdk 1.5 for instance. I checked on jdk 1.4 and it also gave the error.
    The error is that this dialog window appears:

  • TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed (using Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Service Pack 1

    I am using a ThinkPad T520 laptop.  Lenovo Solutions Center keeps referring me (with a yellow exclamation mark) to the Device Manager and alerting me to a "non-critical" error. The message is "TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed".
    I have found numerous pieces of advice for Windows XP and Vista - but very little for Windows 7. I have however tried the Microsoft "Fix it" solution and it had no effect.
    I am still able to connect to the internet via Ethernet cable and wifi. It is however worrying that the warning keeps being raised.
    Does anyone know how I can fix it?

    Hi Tripplec.
    Thanks for the reply. I am away from home at present without my ThinkPad, so will try it at the weekend. I am an experienced computer user but this is a brand new machine and I have never had a laptop that produced error messages without providing any suggested fixes. It seems that Lenovo is not suitable for ordinary home users, but only for computer engineers. Sadly that is not me... so before I plunge in, can I just check some details?
    1. You suggest removing the offending network adapters in device manager. Which are the offending adapters that cause a TCP/IP protocol driver error?  I am nervous of removing the wrong things and making it worse!
    2. You also suggest that I go to Network Connections via Control panel, properties of adapter, Install and select the desired Protocol(s) and install them.  Is that an alternative fix  to 1 above - or an essential follow-on after removing the offending adapters?  (Last week I searched the machine and the Lenovo support page of drivers - and never found a TCP/IP protocol driver. If you know where one can be found, I would prefer to instal a new driver, rather than delete other devices and hope that the machine reinstalls them later!).
    Much obliged for your assistance.

  • HT5628 i was installing windows 8 on mac by boot camp and after i put the windows code and choose the partition i formatted the boot camp sector it said windows can not install on this sector because it is gpt

    i was installing windows 8 on mac by boot camp and after i put the windows code and choose the partition i formatted the boot camp sector it said windows can not install on this sector because it is gpt

    Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
    if you erased your recovery partition
    what OS originally came on your Mac.
    I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap,  because you didn't mention it.
    That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
    If you still have your recovery partition:
    boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
    use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
    If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
    If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
             (the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

  • Touchsmart IQ524 hard drive crashed. Ran Recovery CDs and I get an error Windows can not install on

    I have an HP Touchsmart IQ524 which the hard drive crashed.  I replaced the hard drive with the exact same model.  I run the Recovery CDs (which I purchased from HP website) and it goes all the way through the process and after the reboot I get a message that "Windows can not install software on this hardware" - so it never completes the process.  I have formatted the hard drive and bought and returned 3 hard drives.  Any suggestions and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi:
    I love recovery disks when they work, and HATE them when they don't.
    Fortunately, I have a workaround for you which isn't as good as a recovery disk, but it is better than pulling your hair out, and getting nowhere.
    First of all, before you try this, did you perform the recovery with only the keyboard and mouse connected?
    Did you buy the same size or larger hard drive?
    If your answer to either question is no, then that may be the problem.
    Now to the workaround...
    If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
    Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
    Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
    The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
    I selected No, make the ISO file.
    It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
    I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
    When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
    After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

  • How do I pair my Bluetooth Headset with ThinkPad with Windows 7

    I have got a Plantronics explorer 210 bluetooth headset.  I was hoping to pair it with my lenovo E431 laptop running  Windows 7 .  However, I do not see any application that will allow me to pair the headset.  I do see an application to transfer files over bluetooth. I don't see bluetooth device in the system. Thought the specs say bluetooth should be present. 

    Look into tray menu or press the wireless-FN-button and see if has been deactivated...

  • Need help pairing bluetooth headset [totally solved]

    OK, I have the two following pieces of hardware:
    Motorola H350 Headset
    ASUS Bluetooth USB Dongle, using a CSR radio
    I'm trying to use btsco to use my bluetooth headset. I haven't gotten it to work yet. What I'm posting here is what I'm doing, my config files: and the results I get.

    I anonymized the MAC of the Bluetooth headset because otherwise, somebody would probably yell at me for the security vulnerability. Because with that MAC, someone could uh ..... they could ...... uhm ...... well I anonymized it anyways.
    So without further ado, here's what I do to try and get my bluetooth headset going:
    [root@yvonne bluetooth]# lsmod | grep ^snd_bt_sco
    snd_bt_sco 14028 0
    [root@yvonne bluetooth]#
    That ensures I've got the appropriate module loaded.

    Note that each time after I wipe out the keys from /var/lib/bluetooth, I'm putting the headset back into pairing mode by holding down its "phone" button.
    So I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Something is going wrong during pairing, but what is it? dmesg isn't giving me any clues here either. Is the PIN not getting transmitted properly or something?[/code]

    Ok, there's some strange things happening with bluetooth these days it seems. I had a lot of trouble setting up a connection to my phone, even after following avery bit of advice I found on the net.
    But somehow I found a way, and now it works. I had to do some things not documented anywhere, excepte from some obscure places from 2003 etc.
    The most significant problem I encountered was that my phone would never find my computer, even though I set pscan and iscan enabled.
    Here's a line of code I found that fixed the problem for me. It could work for you too, since your problem looks exactly like the things I saw when the phone couldn't see my computer.
    dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0
    org.bluez.Adapter.SetMode string:discoverable
    I write this after the bluetooth system has started.
    Hope it helps

    me to have it for work purposes, concepts and so much more. My Mother got this computer for me when I graduated from college in 2012 for my graduation gift so I can do what I do.
    Thank you so much for your help in trying to get this resolved without having to take it into somewhere and pay $$ that I do not have.

    I recently had a similar problem - Windows 7 Ultimate. Apart from updates not installing and troubleshooters not running I started getting crashes and BSOD's
    I checked that my Cryptographic services was set to auto (it was)
     Press the 'Windows key" and and key "R" together   to launch the  RUN  box. Type
    services.msc in the box and press Enter. It'll open Services Manager.
     Scroll down to  "Cryptographic Services" in the list. It should be set to Auto ( mine was)
    I then checked my Windows updates to see when the problem started
    Taking the bull by the horns I deleted the last 20 updates installed.
    I restarted the computer and was amazed to find the troubleshooters working ok
    I downloaded the Windows updates and installed them 5 at a time checking the troubleshooter after each batch. Everything was ok .
    I can only assume the troublesome update was not re-offered or the one that installed itself was corrupt.

  • Windows 10 Installation hangs on Windows logo (Not installing on VirtualBox)

    I am trying to install Windows 10 parallel with my Windows 7. I downloaded the latest ISO and created the bootable DVD but during the installation its just hanging on Windows logo and it doesn't go further. I have even disabled the UEFI on my machine.
    Please someone guide me.

    You cannot disable UEFI if your Windows 7 was installed with UEFI.  The System Reserved partition is different for UEFI than for legacy BIOS and your Windows 7 system will not boot in the legacy BIOS mode.
    Booting from DVD should not give you the Windows logo because it should boot into the DVD setup mode.
