Toshiba Bluetooth Stack software - Microsoft Office - Problems

:_| Dear all,
I use a Bluetooth USB dongle to transfer data between my PC and my cellular.
Since installing the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack software (First I used the 5.0 and later upgrading to the latest 6.10.10) I'm having problems with Microsoft Office.
When I try to double click any office document (Word Excel etc.) It takes almost 30 seconds for the Word software to open and then additinal 30 seconds for the office document to open in the software -> almost 60 seconds!!
But when I'm opening the office software from the Strat-Programs-Microsoft Word menu it is opened in nearly 2 seconds!! Nevertheless, while the office is _opened_:
1. When opening a document threw the File-Open menu it again takes 30 seconds for the document to open.
2. When trying to open any office document (while the office is open) threw the Windows Explorer it again takes 30 seconds.
Now, I'm writing in Toshiba forum because when I cancel the Bluetooth manager from the _msconfig_ utility and restart, again the PC and Office is working percfectly.
Please help
PS
I'm using Windows XP Home SP3

Dear sir,
Thank you so much for your answer.
However, I'm alredy using the latest Nokia PC Suite which is 7.0.9.2
What do you think now? how can I progress?
Is it the Toshiba software? Is it Nokia software?
Thanks,
Danny
PS
Of course my Windows XP Home is fully "Windows Update".

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).

Microsoft Wireless Presenter 8000 mouse and Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

Some of the specific functionalities of this MS Bluetooth Mouse do not work with the latest Toshiba Bluetooth Stack : magnifier, digital ink...
The other functions of this mouse (and the remote controller functions too) work perfectly. The magnifier, digital ink, etc..., are working only if the MS USB controller provided with this bluetooth mouse is plugged in.
Many hardware sites and forums are talking about this problem, ie at the end of this page : http://www.hardware-pacers.com/pages.php?catType=r&pid=352&id=968&pageX=on
Is there a chance to have these functions (magnifier, digital ink...) working with a future release of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack ? Any idea of a delay ? Or any idea of a tip to have this working today ?

Of course : I have installed the latest version of IntelliPoint software. A mouse/remote as sophisticated as the Wireless Presenter 8000 can't work without its software.
But one more time, I speak about a Bluetooth MS Mouse, and what I don't understand is that a few funtionnalities (magnifier, digital ink) only works with the MS USB plug delivered with the mouse.
What I'd like is to use ALL the functionnalities of my bluetooth mouse with only the bluetooth adapter integrated into my Toshiba Libretto U100.

Conflict Between Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and Power Drawers on Tecra M5

There seems to be a bug in TosBtShell.dll and I'm hoping this alert might get it repaired in a future revision. Maybe also it will save others the considerable effort it cost me to track down the problem on my new Tecra M5. I've had to abandon Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and now use the one in XP SP2.
When Bluetooth Manager is running, TosBtShell.dll puts the item 'to Bluetooth' next to 'Send To' in the context menu for files and folders. Unfortunately it conflicts with the shell enhancement software Power Drawers http://www.dynamickarma.com/powerdrawers.htm that I rely on to speed up access to my computer files. This software lets you right-click on a folder to display its contents in a list. You can then mouse to any folder in the list and that one also expands as a sub-list - and so on as deep as you like until you reach the folder or file that you want. Right-click an item in the cascade and you get a list of useful options. However if Bluetooth Manager is running when you do the right-click, Power Drawers crashes and you have to close and reopen explorer.exe to get it back.
The conflict stops if you remove 'to Bluetooth' from the context menu for files and folders. I proved this by using ShellExView from Nirsoft http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html to disable the Registry key 'Bluetooth File Extenstion' [sic]. This key is associated with C:\WINDOWS\system32\TosBtShell.dll and CLSID {6BEF3D0B-53F0-4b0d-B91C-C19ED3D4C9D1}. Unfortunately the Registry key comes back again whenever you restart Bluetooth Manager.

I forgot to say in my original posting that the problem still exists in the current version of Toshiba Bluetooth Stack that I downloaded on 6th July from the Bluetooth page.
R2D2, your 'recommendation' would be useful if the site showed in detail what bugs have been fixed. I tried the new version because, although there was no mention of a fix for context menu issues, it does mention that "minor bug-fixes" have been made. I discovered the hard way that these fixes do not deal with the issue I described.
My experience with new Toshiba laptops over the past 15 years is that the update documentation seldom states clearly enough what has changed when new software versions appear. Yet such information could save users a lot of time.
Changing the Bluetooth stack from Microsoft to Toshiba and back is not a five-minute task.
But it seems that the MS Bluettooth stack works with Power Drawers

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.

Question about Toshiba Bluetooth stack V.4

Hi
We have a Fujitsu Siemens P7120 Laptop which requires the Toshiba Bluetooth stack located at http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/pages/download.php
When we install this in silent mode, the installation takes place however the Bluetooth does not initialise until the Toshiba Bluetooth information exchanger is launched!
Is there anyway to make the whole installation complete without this other step?

You should use the BT-stack of FSC. I also tried to install an OEM version of the Toshiba BT-stack, but in this case it was time limited. So check the "About" menu item to get get more details.

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

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.

Microsoft Office Problem

After getting a new IMac, we migrated all our files and software over from our old mac. Unfortunately, we had the most recent version of microsoft office on there. I am experiencing problems now opening up word or excel files now as the computer seems to be trying to open up these files with the trial version that came with the computer (which has ended now), not the licensed version that is also on the computer. I have to first open up word, and then only can I click on the file to open up properly. How can I fix this problem? I need to get rid of the trial office software version. Thanks for any suggestions.

Open the MS Ofice Trial folder.
Run the Installer and select Uninstall

Some info about my experiences with Toshiba Bluetooth stack - works great

Hej,
I just want to post some experiences with the new Toshiba-Stack and Vista.
First I was forced to use the MS-Stack, because of my mobile (Nokia) and its PC-Suite, and the mouse (Logitech v270). Both applications did not work with the Toshiba-Stack. Now with the new Stack and the new PC-Suite, it works quite good under Vista. Furthermore I decided to remove Logitech SetPoint (still no support for the Toshiba-Stack) because my mouse has actually no special buttons and a built-in battery indicator, so there is no real need for SetPoint.
Yesterday I bought a Nokia HS-12W and I am impressed. Works like a charme with the Toshiba Stack and the sound is just amazing... Can even control the mediaplayer through the headset. This one wont work with the MS-Stack at all. Thats why I took a look at the Toshiba Stack again - and was surprised.
Hope could help you a bit with my impressions!

check the website for your Bluetooth hardware brand for an update of your software (Bluetooth stack = drivers and Bluetooth management software).
This means if your USB Bluetooth hardware is labeled with "Toshiba" then the Toshiba Bluetooth website is the suitable one. The software will not expire. If your
Bluetooth hardware has an other brand label then check the according website of this brand and the software will also not expire. It will only expire if hardware brand
does not fit to the software brand.

Microsoft office problem on MacBook Air

I had Microsoft Office installed when I bought my new MacBook Air. First time I used PowerPoint it froze when I tried to access Clip Art browser. A little coloured spinning dot came up and continued for ages and I had to reboot several times. I brought it back to retailer and they rang Apple support who say it is a Microsoft problem. I have been fobbed off the retailer even though they installed it. I paid a lot of money for this and am very unhappy that nobody can help me. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Marlane1,
Yes, I am actually from Australia, so I try to use American numbers and laws to help people, as America would have a substantial majority of users on this site.
I agree that the Company that you bought it from needs to take responsibility and give you a refund.
This website states your consumer rights, they are pretty much identical from ACCC (Aus version) FTC (Us version). Yours would come under a faulty good and under your law, they must give you a refund. Then using this refund purchase it from Apple Store closest to you.
Apple cannot do much as it is not downloaded from them or the App store however, if you take the laptop in, they might have a look? Depends on how happy they are!!
Good Luck and remember your consumer rights: https://www.gov.uk/consumer-protection-rights
Anything that a sales person says to you, can be used as a guarantee and therefore you can say that you asked them to do it for the reason of issues, they did that therefore as they did this they have to fix or replace.
