Registration and MSI Drivers for MSI STAR KEY 3

      First of all for some strange reason i cannot register my star key 3 which i bought at 23/03/2010 from www.e-shop.gr, i have send to MSI the photo with the serial number.Second, clearly in the manual refers about a software driver CD which was not included in my package! I have searched the MSI site for an MSI driver and it has only for STAR KEY 1 and 2 ,not for STAR KEY 3! Currently i have the driver that Windows XP service pack 3 installed but as i saw from previous models STAR KEY 1 and 2 ,the MSI driver has more features.To anyone who has MSI STAR KEY 3, did MSI included a driver CD in the package?

Even though I can understand your frustration, you need to understand a few things in order to take the next steps in this matter:
First:
The BlueSoleil package is not an MSI Product but a piece of bundled third party software that comes with the package.  It is kind of like buying a CD/DVD Burner and getting a CD that contains Nero Burning ROM and a valid license for the particular Nero Version on that CD.  Now let's say: That this "older" Nero Version does not work very well with Windows 7 64bit (because it was concipated for older Windows Versions).  Who do you blame for that?  The manufacturer of the optical drive?  When you contact the software company behind Nero about that, they will tell you exactly the same thing as BlueSoleil did:  Buy a newer version! Now, please don't tell me, that will start complaining about the manufacturer of the optical drive about an outdated Nero Version.
Second:

I bought this device a couple of months ago, so its not even a very old one!
Just because you bought this device only recently in some shop, that does not mean that it is brand new (the shop could have had that thing in stock for a couple of years already).
In fact, the device is at least 3 years old (if not older) and is officially advertised as supporting the 32bit versions of Windows 2000, Windows XP and even Windows Vista.  Windows 7 was not even on the market back then and therefore there was also no possibility of including a copy and a license for a Windows 7-ready Bluesoleil version. There is an old version of the bundled/third party BlueSoleil Software on there because the product was put out on the market more than three years ago.  In case the people in that shop you bought the device in told you any different, they did not really provide very good advice.

the ability to contact the real MSI Support
... exists here: http://support.msi.com/
However, MSI will most probably be able to help you with getting your hands on a free up-to-date Bluesoleil version (just like the optical drive manufacturer who will not provide you with a free copy/license of the latest Nero Release).

I also tried to register the product but the registration page says: "not MSI product" BAHH!!! WHYY??
What page exactly?  Do you have a link?

I have the serial number
Did you enter the serial number of the device or the serial number for the BlueSoleil Software Version that came with it?

  • MSI Star Key on Windows 7

    Hello!
    I have a bluetooth usb device since 2005, back then I used to have windows xp and it worked very well, now I have win7 32 bits and I'm having troubles with the installation, driver is not supported.
    The device is the MSI star key v 1.0. How can I get the right drivers??
    Regards!

    Topic split and renamed.
    This is a very old device now, and MSI does not provide Windows 7 drivers.
    Its possible that drivers are already included with Windows 7, have you tried letting Windows Update find drivers for you?
    Alternatively you could give the Vista 32bit drivers a try, they may just work (Windows XP drivers won't):

    Could anyone please provide specific information? Will the Vista drivers work for Windows 7. I am not able to use them. Is there any setting required? Please help......
    No Vista drivers often do not work in W7.
    You better buy a new device that has W7 drivers.

  • MSI Star key 3x fatser, license does not include device !!!

    Dears,
        I have my MSI star key bluetooth device from 1.5 years, it was working perfect on my windows XP SP2. Then I had some problems with my windows, and I wanted to re-install again the driver (after de-installing the current driver) but I found myself getting the following message, when I try to start the bluetooth device:
    "your bluetooth software license does not include use with this bluetooth device. [6]", and when I point out to my CD for the license file, I get this message "Bluetooth software license file not found. [2]".
    I have tried the driver coming with the device CD WIDCOMM version 4.0.1.2101 and was working for more than 1 year, and also I have tried the new driver on http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=131&prod_no=101 WIDCOMM version 4.0.1.2900 several times with lots of combination and nothing is working, the bluetooth is still red and refuse to start.
    I found the same issue is posted too much over the web regarding the WIDCOMM software in general and solution with something as patch I could not find.
    I checked the fixed posting on this forum, but it seems all included URLs in the posting are not working.
    It seems that contacting MSI support is a waste of time. Could anyone provide guidance or help for me.
    Thanks in advance

  • Installing x64 and x86 drivers for a HP Laserjet p1505n printer on Windows Server 2008

    How do you install both x64 and x86 drivers for a p1505n on a 2008 server? I have now managed to install 64 bit drivers but can't install x86 drivers in the normal way using Additional Drivers from the Sharing tab. I am also trying to do similar for a laserjet 1022n printer.

    On the 2008 Server x64 I installed the FULL driver package 163mb.
    I installed the HP P1505n on Server 2008 and made sure that was working.
    Then I went back in and did the Additional Driver thing and when it asked for the driver for x86 I went to the
    C:\hp_P1000_P1500_Full_Solution folder and scrolled to the bottom and there was the x86 XP driver.
    I hope this helps someone.

  • Portege R835-P56X : are there no Wifi and soundcard drivers for WIn XP ?

    I have just got a Portege R835-P56X . Are there any Wifi and Soundcard drivers for Windows XP for this laptop ?  I want to downgrade to win XP as I have a huge collection of legacy software which have compatibility issues with WIndows 7. I can't find the required drivers on the Toshiba website, all though there are drivers for webcam or touchpad. I don't understand the reason for having a few drivers for XP but not all the required ones. Surely one can't use a laptop without Wifi or  audio.  

    Portege R835-P56X
    Best to upgrade Home Premium to Professional and then install XP Mode. Works really well here.
       Upgrade to another edition of Windows 7 by using Windows Anytime Upgrade
       Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
    It's not necessary to have hardware vitualization enabled. See KB977206.

  • MSI Star Key 2.0 & Windows XP x64

    Hi,
    I have Star Key 2.0 and it's working fine with Windows XP x64. I'm using Microsoft's Bluetooth Stack and it's not supporting Headset profile for example. I can use Widcomm stack with my dongle when using Windows XP, 32-bit version, am I right? Is it possible to use Widcomm stack with x64?
    - Matti P

    Ok. I found 64-bit Widcomm stack (5.0.1.2500). I installed it, but it won't work with my dongle. Stack tells me the following message "Your Bluetooth software license does not include use with this Bluetooth device.[6]". So, I tried to use license file which is located install CD and got the following message "You cannot install an older version of Bluetooth Software over a newer version of Bluetooth Software. [-349]" I suppose that the license file is for Widcomm 4.0 stack, and it is not working with the 5.0 stack. I did a fast search and did not find 64-bit version of the 4.0 stack.

  • HP Pavilion p7-1451 USB 3.0 and Bluetooth drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

    I bought an HP Pavilion p7-1451 so I could have an affordable, yet reasonably powerful machine to put a server software development environment on (I'm a software engineer).
    It came with Windows 8, but I needed Windows Server 2008 R2, which I own through an MSDN subscription.  I did what I always do in these cases, re-partioned the hard drive, re-formatted, and installed the new operating system.
    I have nearly all devices working properly, but it still won't recognize the USB 3.0 ports and the Bluetooth device.  I searched everywhere but cannot find anything that will work.  Anything from the HP site is targeted for either Windows 7 or 8, and when trying either one of those, it tells me "Your system does not meet the operating system requirements"  and MSI does not publish any drivers at all for this particular motherboard (that I can find anyway).
    Motherboard:  MSI MS-7778  also known as: MSI 2AEO version 1.0
    BIOS:  AMI 8.12
    This is the list of "Other devices" in Device Manager that Windows doesn't recognize:
        BCM20702A0
        Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
        Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
    Bluetooth Device ID:  USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21F1&REV_0012
    USB Controller device ID:  PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_7812&SUBSYS_2AE0103C&REV_03
    Windows still doesn't recognize them after allowing it to search the internet.
    And I've googled all over the place and I'm not getting anywhere.
    Does anyone have any advice?
    Any chance this could be related to the BIOS?
    I'm not having any luck finding a BIOS download for this motherboard either.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Holy crap, it worked!!
    My version number was slightly different in the .inf files, but I dropped the last ".1" off the end and that did the trick!
    So, the steps were:
    Get and extract the driver files:
    1. Download the AMD Chipset Drivers file from here:
          http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx#2
          (choose the first download in the list.  It's called "AMD Chipset Drivers")
    2. Download and install 7-Zip from here:
          http://7-zip.org/download.html
    3.  Right click the  13-4_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb.exe  chipset file, select "7-Zip", then choose "Extract Here"
    Install the USB Host Controller driver:
    1. Open the USB Controller .inf file in Notepad from the following location:
        13-4_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\USB30\amdxhc\W764A\amdxhc.inf
    2. Find all instances of:  .5.1.1   and replace with:  .5.1
         and save and close the file.
    3. In Device Manager, right click the first unknown "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller" and choose "Update Driver Software..."
    4. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software", navigate to the directory in Step 1, and click Next.
    5. Accept any warnings and choose to Install anyway...
    It should recognize and install the USB Controller driver (finally progress!)
    Repeat the same steps above for any other USB 3.0 controllers that are unrecognized.
    The devices should now say "Unknown device" instead of "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller".
    Windows recognizes your controllers now, but not the USB root hubs.
    For each of those "Unknown device" entries, do this to install the USB 3.0 Root Hub:
    1. Open the USB Hub .inf file in Notepad from the following location: (notice that it's a different directory)
        13-4_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\USB30\amdhub\W764A\amdhub30.inf
    2. Find all instances of:  .5.1.1   and replace with:  .5.1
         and save and close the file.
    3. In Device Manager, right click the first "Unknown device" and choose "Update Driver Software..."
    4. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software", navigate to the directory in Step 1, and click Next.
    5. Accept any warnings and choose to Install anyway...
    I plugged in a USB 3.0 hard drive, and at first it didn't seem to work.  I tried another port and still nothin.  But after about 40 seconds the drive was recognized and all is well.  Yay!
    Thank you Paul for your help!
    Hopefully this post will help others too.

  • Link to Windows 8.1 Printer (Fax, Copy and Scan) Drivers for OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z

    Hello:
    Need to know where I can find updated drivers for my OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z printer.   I am using Windows 8.1 operating system.
    I have tried using the link at HP, but at the point that it supposedly gets to the install window, it asks me to insert the disc that came with the printer.  When I do that, I still get an error message saying something like "the link cannot be found."  I also get another message at some pont indicating that the full version needs to be uploaded.  Then, the same process starts all over again.   I should add that the printer disc says that it is compatible with XP, Windows 7 and other earlier versions, but not 8 or 8.1
    I have tried this 6 or 7 times with the same result.  Dell (the company from which I bought the laptop) was useless and suggested I contact HP. 
    I can no longer scan, either, because the computer isn't recognzing that the printer has a scan function, so when I go to use PaperPort 12 to scan stuff, it doesn't recognize that a printer is attached.
    Any help resolving these problems would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Official release of XP and Vista drivers for Satellite Pro P100-465 PSPAEE

    When will the drivers be available for both XP and Vista for the PSPAEE? Currently there are drivers for the PSPA4E some of which work, some not, on either operating system. Yes the laptop is preinstalled with the Vista Ugrade and the drivers work but two of the driver apps are blocked by Defender (NDSTRay / ConfigFree and VolControl). I could get no options to enable these (unclassified as yet from MS so they are locked out) I was told to disable Defender by tech-support!
    I have tried a clean install of my own version of Vista Business and had driver problems with that as well.
    I would like to run XP until Vista is, shall we say, more efficient but would like to use drivers specifically for it so a time-frame would be very useful.
    I'd also like to know why there is a plug where a finger-scanner could go underneath the 0 of the number-pad, and a blocked-off lower PCMCIA (PCI-E?) port when neither of these are available as upgrade options? Did I miss those upgrade options or is this a case recycled from another model where they are available? If the latter then that's pretty cheap for a new machine :)

    The Toshiba USA site offers comprehensive information on Vista upgrade and drivers for P100/105 machines which include similar ones to those released in the UK/Europe. If you want to be at the bleading edge of technology/take a chance see

    Will HP be providing updated Windows 8 drivers for G60 laptops?
    Thanks,

    Hi David,
    If Windows 8 drivers are released for your notebook, they will be posted here. 
    HP is not going to support hardware for Windows 8 on any system purchased before Oct 1st 2011.  Most Windows 7 drivers will work in Windows 8.
    Check out this page to see if your computer has been tested by HP with Windows 8.
    You can run the Upgrade assistant software, which will scan your PC and generate a report on what is currently installed on your PC is compatible with Windows 8.  This upgrade guide for Windows 8 provides a lot of information that is needed for anyone considering upgrading.
    I hope this helps,

  • How to get drivers and download drivers for my HP 2000-261NR notebook?

    I need to download all the original drivers for my HP notebook so that they may be reinstalled on a new hard drive. The old hard drive failed.  A new harddrive and Windows 7 64 bit OS have already been installed. The HP support website locks up in a continuous loop when it says it is searching for drivers.  It's been almost an hour and it is still searching with no results showing. Here's a link to the page in question: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-2000-200-notebook-pc-series/5091493/model/5119024#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2 Been there for ages with nothing happening. In the past all we had to do was enter our model number and all the drivers available for download would be displayed. Why not the same thing now?

    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 2000-216NR Notebook  and issues with the driver page. Here is a link to the driver page that might help. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating. Here is a document on Hp Recovery Manager that will help you with any software and drivers that might need reinstalling. Hope this helps. Thanks.
