Toshiba Bluetooth Stack - stalls at 10% on installation
This is a double issue.
I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-163 running MCE XP SP3. I am re-installing the drivers after a corrupted registry problem. The laptop has Bluetooth hardware installed. I have downloaded the latest Toshiba BT Stack s/w for XP and am trying to install it. I get so far. The installation succeeds to the 99% mark. Then another window opens "Installing Bluetooth Drivers." It has a blue progress bar. It stalls at 5 bars = 10% complete. It hangs there - although there is considerable activity on the main hard drive. Eventually I cancel the installation. The main installation window responds with Installation Completed. But the BT service doesn't work. I have raised a ticket with Sitecom but the response was to remove all drivers because the dongle is simply plug and play. This is wrong. The device will not work without the drivers!!! ==== I am also trying to install a Sitecom Bluetooth CN-516 dongle on my Acer Aspire One 532h running Win 7 Starter. I am trying to install the latest Toshiba BT Stack s/w for Win 7 (32-bit). Again this seems to get to about 99% completion. Then another window opens "Installing Bluetooth Drivers." It has a blue progress bar. It too stalls at 5 bars = 10% complete. It hangs there - although again there is considerable activity on main hard drive. Then a popup window opens "Insert Bluetooth Device" which I have actually already done. I click on OK. Five minutes later the same popup window appears again requesting that the BT device be plugged-in. I click on OK. This is repeatable. Eventually I cancel the installation. The main installation window responds with Installation Completed. But the device doesn't work. ==== What's going wrong please? Many thanks. |

Apparently the problems this was caused by the Windows XP (SP2) stack conflicting with the Toshiiba stack - a common problem apparently. The solution is he http://bluetoothinstaller.com/ The exact problem is described he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/840635 However this appears to be an issue with both XP and Win 7 and specifically the bth.inf file. I raised the above issue with Toshiba Tech. Support (who produced the stack and drivers) who were useless. So now the damn BT does work - although its a bit clunky. I guess this is yet another case of Microsoft and Toshiba (et al) not bothering to communicate with each other and own the problem of conflicting s/w. |

Again it was a conflict. CJB |

I had to test out a Bluetooth adapter on my XP machine and it worked ok...but I had problems after I uninstalled it... so even though I do not use Bluetooth I had to reinstall the driver -- https://www.createspace.com/3707686 |
