No device in devices and printers and no recognition of Bluetooth devices

I can not get the list of my devices and printers.  When I click on devices and printers, or when I open Control Panel and do the same, control panel > hardware and audio > devices and printers if poster at the top, a green bar is moving slowly from left to right, but it never ends.   If I select display refresh it will display 0 devices that are at the bottom of the screen
I have installed and run a program called Advanced System Optimizer from Systweak.  I don't know if its use has caused this problem - look at one of my devices is not something I do routinely - but he can do it.  I am in touch with their tech support staff and should hear from them in a day or two.

I also can't find any Bluetooth devices even though I have a mouse and a keyboard that I would like to connect to my Dell PC using Bluetooth technology.

Thanks for the links.  It is found that I have solved the problem but had my answer on the Belkin website.

In Windows 7, apparently, the default setting is not to search for Bluetooth devices.  I had no problem with Bluetooth on Vista.  The Belkin site gives simple instructions on how to set up a Windows 7 machine to pick them up.

1. in the search programs and files box, type services.msc.
2. double-click on Services to Support Bluetooth.
3. Select Automatic for startup type.
4. under Service status, click Start.
5. click on apply.
6. restart the computer.  The PC will now be able to find Bluetooth devices.

Maybe I accidentally turned off mine, but I don't see how that could have happened.  In any case, I put the Asus adapter on my XP laptop - there is no need for any change of configuration - and the Belkin one on my Windows 7 desktop.  Both work very well now.

  • Change the default audio device and the recognition of the application

    I'm new to Vista (home premium w/sp2) and I am confused by works the assignment of default device (control_panel-> sounds), specifically the device change with existing applications (running).

    I change frequently between the speakers and the headphones - however, the change of output device is not recognized by running applications, such as iTunes or Firefox and will not be recognized until I have completely quit and restart the application.

    Why?  It is extremely annoying and incoherent other well educated such as Mac OS X platforms.  I would just like to change the default audio output device, on the fly, without the need to restart applications.

    I do something wrong or Vista offers this functionality to the end user?

    Thank you!

    Hello Wyntr,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Currently, the function of switching between audio output devices is carried out manually. To make the selection, you can click the sound icon in the taskbar, then click the button at the bottom of the volume control Mixer. In the properties of the volume, you can click on devices in the upper left corner and select the appropriate device to make it the default for applications open from then on.

    Let us know if this can help, or if you have additional questions on this subject.

  • the questions and the interference of bluetooth

    Hello. I am plagued by a terrible connection between my bluetooth magic mouse, keyboard and trackpad and my iMac. Mouse movements are jerky, cut off intermittently and make the impossible work to my iMac. The keyboard and the trackpad disconnect and reconnect at will. I went to my local store to Apple eight times in the last six months because of this problem, we replace the bluetooth module (nightwork), something apparently occurred when repairing the third time because my motherboard has been replaced. Still not better. Now, I think it's a problem of interference involving hard drives USB, routers, wifi or any other device that operates on the frequency of 2.4. Problem is that everything was great six months ago. Now, I am forced to use a crappy wired keyboard and mouse. NOT HAPPY. Anyone of these problems?

    Hi rvalues.

    I can understand that you are having problems with Bluetooth devices does not not as expected and I am pleased to provide you with some information for you. I suspect that interference may be responsible to do so, and there are several possible sources of interference. This article may shed some light on the topic for you:

    Potential sources of Wi - Fi and Bluetooth interference

  • VISTA and the new battery Bluetooth: no sound on headphones (Skype)

    Hello.

    I have a big problem: since I have updated Windows XP to VISTA I had to update the stack driver Bluetooth to the most recent available.
    Installation works very well. I can connect my headset is based. He said "plugged in and connected to Skype", but if I call someone, the sound always comes in my speakers and not via the headphones.

    Once, micro headphones listening, but now no longer works. I can press any button on the helmet, chance anything in the Options of Skyp... Nothing.
    With the old battery on XP the helmet has recognized as a Windows Audio device. He's not with the new battery. In Device Manager, two Bluetooth Audio devices are branded 'problem - driver issue '.

    I wish I could just use the old battery under Vista, but it does not work (not compatible with Vista).

    I really need help, SOON because I used to do all my calls through Skype Out.

  • Tecra M7 and Nokia SU - 27W bluetooth

    Hello
    After hours of tests, I can't have my Nokia SU - 27W digital pen to fully connect via Bluetooth to my Tecra M7 (WinXp SP2 TabletPC). The device is recognized, asked me a PIN, but the connection process ends with "no services detected." I installed the latest version of Toshiba BT Stack 5.10.06 (T), but it's all the same. Checking options of Bluetooth Manager, I can see that the pen is reported as "paired", but no connection is established, the tab of the diagnostic tool cannot find the pen.
    The pen supports Bluetooth SPP 1.2 services (and sum other ones that I don't need). I need to activate the data streaming via bluetooth and get the data via a virtual COM port.
    I totally blue.
    Can someone give me a hint?

When I go to the settings of the PC and click on Bluetooth he searches for devices but does not stop and never find all of the devices. Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong? The adapter of the Insignia would not be a updated driver for 8.1?

    Nope. The dongle and the associated keyboard and mouse are coded to work together as a set.

  • Dial mobile and talk laptop via Bluetooth

    Hi all

    I'm trying to put my cell phone as a Bluetooth speaker, I would like to call from the mobile phone, but use the laptop computer's microphone and speakers.

    I am able to pair mobile successfully and I am able to play music on the mobile on the laptop via Bluetooth, but the mobile does not recognize the laptop as speaker during calls (unlike other Bluetooth speakers, for example as a car speakerphone).

    I enabled all services in Bluetooth after pairing device settings, but still no luck.

    I did it with success in the past with another phone, so do not understand what is the problem and what prevents this feature.
