Iogear Bluetooth Software3/22/2021
If you have a question create a new topic by clicking here and select the appropriate board.I bought an Iogear micro bluetooth adapter (GBU421) for use on my DV3-2150.
Iogear Bluetooth Software Software Package ThatIt worked great under Vista but now that Ive upgraded to Win7 64, the new driver and software package that Iogear insists has been tested to work on Win7 just doesnt seem to want to play right on my machine.No matter what I do, I keep getting the generic Windows bluetooth dialog box rather than the Widcomm configuration panel, the bluetooth places is missing on the desktop and theres no bluetooth configuration utility in my control panel.![]() Iogear Bluetooth Software Drivers Rather ThanI think its because of Windows 7s more aggressive driver validation and enforcement which is intercepting the driver andor software install and forcing the MS drivers rather than the Widcomm drivers. The folks over at Iogear insist that everything works fine and of course its just me, or my machine, which is the anomaly. Yah, right. Its a great little adapter, just the right size for the machine, if only itd work right. Also, BT adapter is not letting laptop go to sleep now, so I suspect something isnt right. Can you post some screen shots of your config so I can compare it to mine to see if its the same. In the prior iteration of the drivers on Vista, right mousing on the BT icon in the system tray would bring up a Widcomm dialog box with their branding. Theres still the issue of the adapter not allowing the system to go to sleep, but Ill deal with that later. By using this site, you accept the Terms of Use and Rules of Participation.
