Problems with Bluetooth stack after bootcamp driver installation.

I have been running Windows Server 2008 in bootcamp without drivers from the Mac OSX installation cd for a few months with everything except soundcard and function keys working - but since I have found that I need sound and the function keys, I decided to install the Bootcamp drivers and all other drivers that my system would recognize and use.
At this point I should say that ever since I installed Windows Sever 2008, I've been using a mighty mouse wireless on both osx and server 2008, and both have been working perfectly both running natively (in bootcamp or osx) or in virtualization (with vmware fusion on osx).
After completing said install, I rebooted and found to my horror that my mighty mouse wireless had stopped working. I went into the control panel of server 2008 and found the bluetooth.cpl and proceeded to correctly find the mouse identified as it was setup in osx when I first set it up there. I then tried connecting to it in multiple ways, both by supplying no passphrase, letting it decide it's passphrase or entering one (0000 as some documentations have pointed out). None of these solutions worked, so now I'm stuck with a mouse that works in osx and vmware fusion, and that used to work in server 2008 before I installed Apples provided drivers for their hardware.
So my question is - have any of you run into this problem on Vista (I'm figuring Vista is closer to server 2008 than XP is, because they share at least some of the same core as far as I know).
Another thing I've noticed is that I can't make Apple Software Update update Bootcamp to 2.1 - it simply doesn't acknowledge that Bootcamp is installed on Windows, even if I try and force the registering of it with the encluded .exe file in the zip when I download it manually)
I would really appreciate any sort of help on this problem, as I'm fresh out of ideas as to what I can do about it. The only thing I can think of is that Apple's drivers somehow broke the configuration that was working (in resetting it after reboot), but then the question is: How to make it work again.
Again: please help, any help is much appreciated.

Today I installed Vista Ultimate on my new (early 2008) MBP, to find that it killed my Bluetooth on Vista, and also on my OS X partition. Both OS's claim that there is no Bluetooth Hardware attached. It worked after I installed the Drivers, but stopped when I tried to install an Apple BT Keyboard.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'll begin searching for an answer.
I did do a Super Duper Clone, before I installed Vista on the Boot Camp partition, but I'm fearful that it may be a hardware issue.
Cheers Teky

  • Problem with Windows XP after a driver instalation

    Hi. I have a Lenovo SL400 with Windows XP. So, today I installed a few drivers from the Lenovo website because the volume and Lenovo Care keys and the bluetooth were not working since I changed to XP. After the installing process, I restarted my laptop and now just when its about to open the window to entet my password I get this blue screen for around 1 second and then it restarts itself, to do the same over and over again. The blue screen shows a four line message saying there is an error and some numbers. I have tried every option in the F8 menu and got nothing. Help me, please, I'm desperate :s

    my friend isten carefully:
    i have a g500,in which i tested a xp clean install(both x64 & x86 versions of xp*)(service pack 3 for the x86 version*).
    all the features work EXCEPT:when i install the wireless/bluetooth i start to receive the bsod(blue screen of death)
    i assume there is a VERY big issue(incompatibility) between the "high speed"(4.0 HS)adapter which is plugged in in this machine(and i also assume you have the same problem on your model).
    thing is........this adapter cannot work on windows xp,because:the intel chipset setup&the intel management engine interface setup have both tell your machine to work with specific "rules"(after the installation of these mentioned packages).
    that means,your system works fine,untill you try to install the bluetooth/wireless driver!
    after this installation,you receive this blue screen because the driver might be supossed/planned to work under windows xp,but the wifi/bluetooth adapter might NOT be working after the specific intel setup!..and that is a huge bug (in my opinion always).
    there is a workarround i think,but it demands that you actually must DOWNGRADE the motherboard setup(intel chipset drivers)or transform it to sth else,rather than what it is.
    the above has a result that the machine "sees" the usb ports as "generic"(...if i remember well)and then you can install the wifi/bluetooth set up normally.
    the whole problem stands on what i just mentioned:the wifi adapter is plugged under "internal usb" WHICH HAS TO WORK AS 3.0, BUT usb 3.0 IS NOT supported under win xp(or vista)!!!!!..so that's why the driver you(...and me)installed is the CORRECT ONE(according to the manufacturer)but THE MOTHERBOARD ON WHICH it is installed is NOT the suitable one(after the chipset setup installed of course!)
    Hope what i wrote helps everyone(plus Lenovo .....TO FIX IT!)

  • Windows 7 will only boot in safe mode after Bootcamp Driver Installation

    Help! I recently installed Windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.4. Everything runs smoothly until I restart the machine following the installation of the Bootcamp Drivers. Upon restart, I am told that Windows "was not able to shut down successfully." I can restart in safe mode but cannot seem to fix the problem. I assume it is related to one of the Bootcamp drivers but which one? Has anyone had this problem? Do I need to install the Bootcamp drivers in order to run windows successfully? Thanks so much!

    BEFORE you installed anything off OS X DVD, you did have Windows running, right?
    So it was crippled but somewhat functional. And it is possible to create a standard user account, a 2nd admin account. Just as one backup, I understand that doesn't really help.
    Same with backing up Windows 7 to an external drive, making a system restore image.
    And you can copy the Apple drivers to a folder in Windows and use Troubleshoot Compatibility Mode and install individually (they aren't one program or package, they are in
    Apple\Drivers\ for one and people using 64-bit have to use that to run Bootcamp64.msi using Compatibility Mode.
    When you started and titled "will boot in safe mode" that sounded like you could boot and login.
    Using external wired keyboard and mouse is what some people have had to do until they got proper drivers.
    Would be nice if:
    Windows had more drivers and Apple would ship a set to be included in Windows 7 SP1; drivers worked! And could be downloaded and installed directly into Windows, and no need for old 3.0 and then 3.1 but go directly to latest (and new Macs do have improved 3.0 drivers, which are on 10.6.4 DVDs).

  • Problems with Time machine after bootcamp Win7

    Hi everyone,
    I have been wrestling with this problem for a few days now, been researching online and trying a majority of solutions I ran across..
    Here is what I did to screw it up:
    I installed Windows 7 using Boot camp.. Which actually works out pretty good..
    This is when I noticed that my time machine program was going wrong:
    When I keep getting that error saying unable to back up, which doesn't tell me anything..
    I followed the solutions that the Utility program says.. Format my external hard drive.. So I was hoping to start anew with it, kissed about a year worth of backups good bye..
    Which sadly solved nothing except for the freezing of time machine at 45.5GB, now it just says it fails after doing 8GB.. Both computer and external hard drive checks out OK by the Utility program.
    This is what I found on my system.log :
    mds[32]: (/Volumes/Untitled/.Spotlight-V100/Store-V1/Stores/DEB63C2D-2705-44E5-86F2-2D3E B1C2E65F)(Error) IndexCI in bt_shadowTrie:read err: 5

    I try looking it up,but its a mystery in it's self.. I try reformatting the external HDD and starting all over, and it keeps coming up.. What does this cryptic message mean? How can resolve this issue so I can start getting my backuping underway?
    Thank you for any replies

    Is your Time Machine disk named "Untitled"? There's something wrong with the (hidden) Spotlight index on the "Untitled" drive.
    The easiest (and, fortunately, most likely) way to fix that is to go to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy, and add the Untitled volume to the exclusion list temporarily.
    Then try another backup. If it runs ok, go back and remove the exclusion. That will re-index the drive "from scratch" and likely fix whatever's corrupted.

  • Problems with drwin.exe after upgrading driv

    After doing a online update for my audigy 4 drivers, i now get a message on shutdown saying drwin.exe has failed to inialtise and is unable to log off station. I then have a devil of time trying to get the pc to shutdown at all. Any ideas how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    Just a email from support telling me do to a clean install, link below:http://ask.europe.creative.com/SRVS/...ve.com,case=72?also found a small hotfix for it. drwin.exe is the microsoft error reporting tool. this seems to be crashing as its trying to report an error with sound card drivers. i've managed to get it to stop crashing for the time being by doing the following:?open control panel, click on system and go to advanced tab. at bottom of this you will see a button that says error reporting, click on it. another wee box will come up, uncheck the one that says programs, (under the error reporting bullet button). not really a fix, more of a workaround. hope it hel
    ps.

  • Problem with bluetooth after downgrade Vista - XP

    I've maked downgrade, but I have got a problem with bluetooth. System shown my new device, but it look for driver. I have downloaded it from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67782 but its wrong. The file name is 68bt02ww.exe

    Does anybody know where can I find the correct driver?

        Thank you for testing this out, rabshm. If you go to Settings>Bluetooth>Paired Devices>and select the Settings/cog wheel> You will see a series of configuration options for Bluetooth services. Try disabling them all, and start testing by turning on one setting at a time. See if there is a conflict with the incoming messages.
    Let us know if this helps.

  • Serious problem with bluetooth after upgrade to iOS6.1

    After upgrading to iOS 6.1 I have found serious problems with bluetooth, now I can not see the other iphone and vice versa.
    Someone has the same problem?
    Why Apple continues to restrict bluetooth functions?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer. Yes I've checked parameters modification and SPICBOOKING is "well" launched but it produces no results, so I guess there are some other changes in dimension customizing of AccountL or Datasrc....by the moment I'm testing but with no luck. This happens when you are about to go live and decide to upgrade your system....

  • Has anyone been having problems with bluetooth in Macbook PRO after upgrading to Mavericks?

    Hello,
    Ever since I upgrade my 13inch (early 2011) Macbook PRO to OS X Mavericks I have been experiencing problems with bluetooth connectivity. Suddenly my Magic Mouse stops working and I cannot connect it back. Also I try turning off the bluetooth function but is not possible. The only workaround I have found is to restart the system.
    I appreciate any help.

I went to the Adobe website and had them check to see if it was working and it shows I have FlashPlayer 10.3.181.36. The page that shows  which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium. I also am running Norton Internet Security. It takes anywhere from 3-6minutes for some of my games to load, and I have to refresh at least 3-4 times in order to play. When I do start to play it freezes frequently and I use escape to free it up. This has been going on for a month. I have no idea what to do.

  • Problem with Time Capsule after backup session

    I have a problem with Time Capsule after a backup session. Our two Macs (on Maverick) loose connection with the station and the only thing that seems to help is unplugging the Time Capsule  and starting it again! After the next backup session the same thing happens again. The Macs seem not to be able to hold on to the connection and continually loose it.  The iPhones and iPads that we have (4 units) are not affected - it is the Mac Mini and Mac Powerbook that experiences this problem!
    I would be grateful for your help!

    This is standard Mac issues and has been a bug floating around since Lion.. it hits some people worse than others.. but once it starts it is awful hard to get rid of.
    Just to confirm the connection to internet is not a problem?? Just the hard disk drops out?
    I recommend you
    1. Reset the TC to factory.. and start over with all new names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    TC name and wireless name/s should conform. By default the disk share name is data which is fine.
    2. Mavericks has changed over from using AFP to SMB for network filesharing.. why Apple why??
    This is unhelpful to say the least. Many many people are struggling with TC and being unable to mount the network drive.
    So do it manually and force it back to AFP.
    In Finder use top menu, Go, Connect to Server.
    Type AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress (it must be the network name of actual TC.. or its IP address)
    When the computer locates the resource it will ask for a password.. it is public by default.. supply your password or public and save it in the keychain.
    3. Delete the existing TM setup and start over.. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    I cannot promise this will fix it but should reduce the problem to now and then.. rather than every time TM needs to backup.

  • Problems with Bluetooth and stablity post Portico ...

    I updated my Lumia 920 on ATT with the Portico update the day it came out in order to get the daylight camera improvements.  I started having problems after the update, ironically problems that the update was supposed to fix:
    1) Bluetooth connection with BMW does not stay alive, drops after a few minutes
    2) When Bluetooth is connected, don't get sound and don't transmit sound.
    3) Just the other day, the phone frooze while connected to Bluetooth.  Had to put phone on speaker while calling, when I ended the call, the phone frooze.  Had to soft reset, but still have problems with bluetooth stay alive.
    4) Random reboots. 
    WIshing I had not done that update.  Any way to roll back?

    Unfortunately, seems like it . I would let the battery drain flat, then take it back to your local AT&T store and ask for a replacement. If they are being less than helpful, contact Nokia direclty by clicking the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page.

    I've been using it on all of my computer without any problems. Remember you won't see any positive comments here. Everyone here is complaining about a problem. If you want a good experience with any upgrade or update first make a backup from which you can boot the computer. If you are installing an update, like 10.10.3 for example, always download and install the Combo Updater - OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update. Before you install any update or upgrade over an existing system you should do this:Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
