  • Cannot re - install the Bluetooth on Windows vista 64-bit - Satellite A305

    I'm having a problem with my bluetooth to my new computer Toshiba A305-S6843.

    He runs the 64-bit version of Vista.

    The machine used version 6.10.02T build 20080128 on it, but the bluetooth radio would not allow. The device has been recognized in the Device Manager, but the mistake I'd get was "Bluetooth is not ready" when I clicked on ACTIVATE.

    So, I tried to install the latest version of the software on your downloads page . "TOSHIBA Bluetooth Stack 6.10.10 (T).

    When it unpacks and starts to install. The error I get is: "the operating system is not adequate for running on Toshiba bluetooth stack" and fails. »

    When I try to reinstall the old version "6.10.02T Build 20080128" - I get an error "1155" and that's all.

    Now, I can't reinstall any battery Bluetooth to operate.

    Help, please

    Hello

    1. is that the copy of windows is enabled?

    2 is the issue limited to the installation of a security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2699988)?

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
