Satellite Pro L500 - no licence for Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

Do hope someone can help me. I am going round in circles.
On 8th Nov 2010 I purchased online from Toshiba the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (Premium Edition) for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 so that I could use my existing (non-Toshiba) dongle. This has been working fine until a couple of months ago.
Thinking that the dongle had packed up I bought another one.
However, although I know that this one is working I have been unable to get this to work on my Toshiba laptop as I keep getting the following error message from the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack as follows:
"Thank you for evaluating the Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba. The evaluation period has now expired. Please obtain a license for this version of Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba."
This seems to imply I have come to the end of a free evaluation period but I haven't as I purchased the full license in 2010. I have tried various things but I can't seem to get past this. I'm not a computer boffin but I can reasonably find my way around a laptop. Can anyone please, please help me?

Hi there. Apologies for the delay in replying.
I did try reinstalling, but in then searching the Toshiba Bluetooth Portal under "news" (here is the link http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=news ) it says:
"2011-12-21 TOSHIBA Bluetooth Stack for users without TOSHIBA hardware isn't available anymore"
I'm taking that to mean I can only use a Toshiba bluetooth dongle for it to work. Assuming I am reading it right I am really unhappy about this as I paid 25.90 at the Toshiba Online Store just over 12 months ago for the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack Premium Edition and have had no warning about this suddenly happening.
Have it got it right? Would really appreciate a reply.

Satellite Pro L500 - Webcam has stopped working

The built-in Web Camera on my Satellite Pro L500 has stopped working with the following message:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Toshiba\Toshiba Web Camera Application\TWebCamera.exe
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
The Event log points to microsoft.vc80.openMP.......
Could someone please tell me how to fix the web Camera. I very rarely use it so I do not know exactly when it stopped working.
Thanks.

Thanks to TwoLags & PauPau.
Yes, I did think @ re-installing the driver but wanted to see what others think about it as I am quite new to Toshiba and was not sure if I could selectively install applications from recovery DVDs.
Removing the old driver and re-installing the one downloaded from TOSH has solved the problem During the re-install, I noticed it re-install MS Visual C++2005 redistributable. THIS IS THE culprit. This litttle bit of software comes bundled with many apps and I guess this was got installed with one of the new apps that I installed recently and must have messed up the original settings.
Thank you all, thw WebCam is back in action.

Satellite Pro L500 wont burn DVD

I have TWO Satellite Pro L500 laptops with a TSSTCorp TS-L633C DVD-RW Drive. BOTH exhibit the same problem - burning a DVD fails during the finalising process, regardless of what speed you burn at.
Burning CD's works fine.
The blank DVD's burn fine on a Satellite L500D laptop using the HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT20N drive, and also on another Satellite Pro L500 that is using a Pioneer drive.
Both laptops having issues are running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, but nothing else other than the software that comes with the laptop. Both are new straight out of the box. Driver is current version driver, from what I can find out.
Any suggestions? When one laptop showed the problems I thought it may be the drive, but now 2 laptops from totally different stores showing the exact same problem?
Thanks.

The problem is that disabling file verify doesn't resolve the issue as the disc is unreadable after burning.
*I have now solved the issue*
*It seems the TS-L633 drives do not work well with lower speed discs.*
Where EVERY other computer, including a Satellite Pro and Satellite using different drives, will detect the lower speed DVD's and burn appropriately, the TSSCorp drive does not and hence errors due to burning the disc at too high a speed.
The drive worked fine when higher speed discs were used.
Examining the problem discs I believe they were 2x discs, which as stated worked fine in all other computers where the computer detected the lower speed and changed the burn speed to 2x, however the TS-L633 drive would not allow less than 3x burn speed, and tried to burn at 8x. This obviously created a problem!
So, anyone having DVD burning issues with a Satellite laptop using the TSSTcorp TS-L633C drive, try changing the blank media to something capable of higher burn speeds!
Thank you to all that suggested solutions. I have also passed this info along to Toshiba Support as I feel this may be an issue they need to either resolve or note for future users, as there is no doubt slower speed DVD's will be used in these devices!

Satellite Pro L500 - Can't install Realtek LAN driver

Hi All,
I have recovered a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disc created from notebook, but now can't install a Realtek LAN driver for the notebook.
The software driver installer dosn't seem to run correctly all the time, have tried several times to install, with only once a realtek "repair" option becoming available.
When I did manage to install driver I got a error "device failed to start". after recovery I also had problems with a "PCL simple communications controller driver",
which seems to have been a Intel MEI according to the VEN, DEV info displayed in systems info.
Are these problems related and how do I Install the required driver in a automated system if the system won't detect the hardware correctly?

Have downloaded from many sources the correct driver, but the motherboard or the OS is not discovering the network adaptor so even if the driver is installed the divice is not recognised as being there(physically installed). when installing the driver software i get the error from the realtek installer "Realtek network controller was not found. If in deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable". have no idea what or how deep slee is enabled and have reset bios settings to default and have reset cmos.

Satellite Pro L500-19X boots ok but touchpad and keyboard fail

Satellite Pro L500-19X running windows 7.
The machine boots ok, then at the login screen neither the touchpad or keyboard works.
The only way I can overcome this is to go back to a previous restore point.
After this, the machine runs fine until I power off, on powering up again, I get the same issue.
The machine has the latest updates applied.
Any pointers welcomed.
Regards,
C.

Hi lfc1892,
Have you tested external input devices? Maybe your internal devices are faulty and must be replaced. In this case the external input devices should work properly! :)
Furthermore you should follow the instructions posted by Dr.Lamp. Check this also in safe mode and in BIOS. In worst case you have to reinstall Windows

Toshiba Bluetooth Stack vs Microsoft Bluetooth Stack

Which Bluetooth stack is better and more reliable for Toshiba Qosmio G20-127, in your opinion Microsoft Bluetooth Stack (which comes in XP Service Pack 2), or, the native Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 4.00.23?

I have 2 PCs desktop and notebook. My desktop PC has an HP DeskJet 690C printer, which is physically connected using the cable and LPT port. I am using Widcomm 5.01.1200 Bluetooth drivers for my desktop PC and Toshiba Bluetooth stack 4.00.30 for my notebook. Can I add a desktop PC printer for my notebook via Bluetooth? I would like to get a step-by-step tutorial about adding a printer. Both PCs are running on WinXP Pro SP2.
At this moment I am only able to browse the Internet from my notebook (using my desktop PC and bluetooth connection).

How to use Satellite P100 with MS Vista and MS Bluetooth stack?

I'm using my Sat P100 for more than one year. I just reinstalled Windows Vista Ultimate from scratch, and because I'm really not so much satisfied with Toshiba's Bluetooth stack, I'm trying to use original Microsoft's Bluetooth stack, which comes with Vistas.
After reinstall, Windows found BT device and installed MS BT stack. Everything worked well, but ufetr downloading and installing tons of updates including SP1, BT device completely disappeared. I found some articles about how to switch from Toshiba to Microsoft BT Stack, but it seems to be a XP sollutions, and mainly it always need to install "Bluetooth Monitor for MS Stack", but I cannout find this download for MS VIsta.
Can anyone help? Thanx!

I've got it!!!
I have fond one sollution: maybe not excellent, but working!
1. Check if you have latest Toshiba Bluetooth stack installed (here: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download)
1.1 If you have older version, uninstall it, reboot, install latest one, reboot.
1.2 If you don't have any version installed, install the latest one.
2. Assuming you installed to default location, copy this folder to any backup location, including complete directory structure: c:\Program Files\Toshiba\Bluetooth Toshiba Stack\
3. Go to Start/Control panel/Programs and Features and uninstall whole Toshiba Bluetooth stack, reboot
4. After rebooting, there is again "Bluetooth devices" applet in Control panels (it was previously disabled by Toshiba's Bluetooth Stack), but you cannot see any HW Bluetooth device
5. Go to backup location (into ..\Bluetooth Toshiba Stack\) and run AS.exe.
6. It will start installing BT devices, BT icon will appear in Tray.
7. Installer will hang on cca 5th box, but never mind, all drivers are already installed.
8. Maybe you can cancel installer, but I feared that it will roll-back installed drivers, so I simply killed this Install process (Ctrl+Alt+Del, Start Task manager, Select BT installer in Apps and Kill it)
9. Whow, it works now event after restarting.
10. Your feedback welcome! ;)

TOSHIBA Bluetooth stack SDK - How to obtain?

Hi all.
I am SW engineer. I have a question regarding to TOSHIBA Bluetooth stack SDK:
We use Edimax Bluetooth V2.0 Class-2 USB Adapter for our devices. This adapter is supplied with Toshiba Bluetooth stack. We want to be able to perform operations such as blue tooth devices recognition, virtual bt COM port assigning, connecting, transmission intensity measuring programmatically. Thus we need Toshiba Bluetooth stack SDK.
How can I obtain the TOSHIBA Bluetooth stack SDK?
Thank you for advance.

Hi
Maybe the guys need a little bit time
It seems that the contact form on the Toshiba Bluetooth page is the right and only way to obtain the TOSHIBA Bluetooth stack SDK

Trouble with Toshiba bluetooth stack

Hello, I'm having a trouble with toshiba bluetooth stack. I had windows vista installed in my laptop. I decided to upgrade to Windows 7. I had a bluetooth mouse attached to my toshiba bluetooth stack in windows vista. After upgrading to windows 7 my bluetooth mouse is not working any more and it is not listed in the devices list. But, when I switch my mouse on, the bluetooth stack icon tray turns green like when the device is connected, but it doesn't work and the device is still not listed. I'm trying to redetect it, but it is not detected. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the bluetooth stack, but in the reinstalation, my devices are still listed.
Anyone can help me or tell me how to remove manually all the attached devices? Thanks in advance.

It seems that the mouse has still stored the pairing information (normally it should loose it if the battery was removed).
The mouse tries to connect to the last connection, but the other side (PC) has not the information anymore.
Could you try to pair the mouse with any other PC or notebook before you try to pair it with your notebook again ?
Furthermore increase the security for this test by enabling the following option:
Right click Bluetooth system tray icon > Options > Security > Custom Level > Mode: Link level enforced security

How to manually uninstall the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack?

Hey there, I have a problem with the uninstallation of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack v4.00.20 on my Windows XP SP2 notebook. Whenever I choose to remove the "Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba" (and "Bluetooth HID Switch Service") the installer starts preparing but hangs after a short while - the only way to continue is to power the notebook off. :(
The same happens when I try to update the stack to the latest version - the installer says that the old stack has to be removed first and hangs after trying to remove it. So is there a way to remove it by hand? I really don't want to reinstall Windows because of that.
The reason why I want to uninstall/update the stack is because my Jabra BT620s headset doesn't work with it. I can connect it and use it as earphones (the music quality is pretty good) but I cannot use the built-in microphone. This works with the Widcomm stack but with this one I have quality issues.
Thanks in advance.

If only your headphone works and not your headset then you have most likely not configured the headset profile. Use the "Custom Mode" of Bluetooth settings and setup also HFP (or HSP if HSP does not exist) then it should work.
