I updated the bluetooth driver, now the bluetooth isn't recognize

Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and Maintenance, and then click Device Manager.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation

In the list, double-click the type of device, and then locate the specific device that isn't working properly.

If an exclamation mark appears next to the name of the device, Device Manager can't find the device driver. Go to "Use Windows Update to find a device driver."

If no exclamation mark appears next to the name of the device, go to "Uninstall and reinstall the device driver."

Close Device Manager.

hope this helps

Replace the batteries and reset the reset switch, that is on the mouse,if it has one.

you'll need to have latest version 2011.01.19.0
the problem with the outdated version is that it was incompatible with the updated iTunes. and so anyone with iTunes 8 and higher won't be able to use Tuneplus. luckily, Broderbund/Mediashop managed to fix this. Though it seems the updated version isn't available through normal means of "Tools" then "Check for updates". so here's what you do, uninstall your current version of Tuneplus. then download and install this updated patch.

click start control panel administrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll down network adapters + expand Ethernet driver right click update driver,disable,uninstall also select properties general you can trobleshoot or driver to update,rollback or uninstall

First rule-of-thumb, don't trust windows updates for drivers. With that being said, you should find out what the chipset of that Atheros card really is. Download a program called Unknown Devices, by Halfdone. Install the program and run it. It will tell you the actual chipset. Then google search that chipset with the words "xp driver" after it. You should also look at the list and see what the bluetooth type is in you laptop. Usually it will be either a Toshiba bluetooth stack, Widcomm, or Microsoft. Then google that with "xp" after it to find the driver for the bluetooth. Install the software and driver and you should be all set.
Let me know if you need more help.
And if this fixed your issue please make sure to leave comments. Thanks.

The GBU321 installation software that comes with the CD was the problem. Called their tech service who made me uninstall the BlueTooth Drivers that the CD and Windows 2000 installed first, and then "directly" download and install the BROADCOM drivers. The adapter works very well now. Thanks.

It is possible that the adaptor is not compatible with your version of windows vista, despite what the system requirements for the device say.

Below is a link where you can download the latest driver for your bluetooth adaptor. Support XP sp1, sp2, and vista. Try this driver
