Windows Installer 8 question - can not find / uninstall Broadcom Bluetooth software
TRIED TO INSTALL WINDOWS 8, BUT CANNOT INSTALL DUE TO BROADCOM BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE! Help!
I use a Dell desktop XPS 8300, CPU Intel (R) Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz, 8.00 GB of RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium Svc Pack 1, 64-bit OS.
I decided to install Windows 8 and got stuck when he says that I can not continue until I have MANUALLY uninstall the Software Bluetooth Broadcom on my system. However, I CAN'T FIND it! I checked device, including hidden items Manager and there is no evidence showing Bluetooth. When I try to click on the shortcut icon (to configure Bluetooth), I get a window that says Windows Explorer has stopped and he is looking for a solution but found nothing.
There is no listed software is the list of programs and I can't find it in the Add/Remove Programs area. After much research I found two items:
btstackserver.exe c:\program Widcomm software\btstackserver.exe and also
BTTray.exe c:\program Widcomm software\bttray.exe
I'm not either of those of any place where I can uninstall (or install them?). They do NOT appear in the program list. I did, somehow, get the Bluetooth symbol to appear in the status bar and tried to set it up, but he kept saying that my Bluetooth was not lit. I don't even know if I have the Bluetooth on this computer! (and I don't really like, I would just get Win8 installed!)
I thought to delete the folders above, but do not think that that would solve my problem and probably it would be worse!
If anyone has any ideas that can help me, I would be sincerely grateful for it. I have been trying now for about 6 to 7 hours and will leave for the night. Maybe tomorrow will bring more luck!
Thanks much for any help! If I missed something in this explanation of the problem, please let me know and I'll try to clarify the situation.

Sorry for the late reply. A week was very busy.
Looks like a pretty messy situation.
I suggest you only to contact Dell to see if they have information.
A search revealed a pretty scary incident (which is supposed to be fixed now),
but there may be other problems that Dell knows and can help you.
It is probably possible to find a way to uninstall manually,
but after reading the above, I am reluctant to venture...

AFAIK, you can't share a catalog like this.
The only recommended method is to store your images and catalogue on an external drive, you can alternatively plug in both computers.
With today the external USB drives, the speed is still correct, and many users are satisfied with this solution.

Windows 7 32 bit can not find the driver for printer Photosmart Premium C310a
I recently had an update to the product directly on my printer Photosmart Premium C310a on Internet. However, this then to Windows 7 (32 bit) to search for a driver for the printer but it could not find a. If I click on devices and printers, it shows my device from the computer as requiring troubleshooting. When I click on troubleshooting it signals that "Driver for Photosmart Prem 310 is not installed. Install the latest version of the driver. When I applied the fix, it indicates that the driver is not found.
I tried to download the latest driver on the website of HP in various ways, finally to uninstall all HP software displayed in the Panel and then removing all the HP files remaining on my laptop. I then ran PC Tools Registry Mechanic, disabled my anti-virus, restarted the computer software and reinstalled the complete C310a software on the HP site. It ended without any problem, and after adding the printer to my list of printer, it is printed on a perfect test page. However, Device Manager always reports the C310a driver is missing, but it cannot find a copy when it finds one.
How can I convince the device manager that everything is going well (apparently)?
apeace, I recommend you do as you did, uninstall the printer under programs and features but also by ensuring that this printer he is removed from the Manager of peripherals and devices and printers. Then after restarting the computer and by disabling the firewall, download the drivers and software for full adjustment and install them.
You can also run this utility and see if that solves the problem automatically!
Let me know!

can not find the drivers and software
Hello
I use an old Compaq presario 6000 series desktop computer. I had just formatted the Office to install a fresh sp2 XP. Unfortunately, after formatting and installing XP, I found that I had lost the CD for the drivers.
I don't know how to find the number of model/product number for my office. But I had found something on top of the CPU devalued
P6171AI/P4 - 1.9 G / 256 M / 40 G/D16W40/M
Compaq P246LFM70115
I don't know what is the model number and product number in the present. As such, I could not find the drivers. I'd be happy if someone could help me get ALL the necessary drivers. Also, I would be grateful if I could know the factors that I need to install (other than the VGA and sound).
Thanks in advance
Hello:
The model number of the keyboard is the model # of the keyboard only.
First install the chipset driver and reboot:
I think this is the driver you need.
Audio:
I think that's the one:
If all of the above drivers work that I posted, because I can't find what model # your PC based on its hardware, you can find the drivers for a model with a similar material on the link below, if you need it in the future.

HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx: HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Windows 7 x 4 Can not find Hard Drive
I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx. I put in a new hard drive. I can't get Windows 7 x 64 to recognize during the installation. I tried the Intel Chipset drivers on the HP download site for my laptop. I also tried the x 64 drivers from the Intel website: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24293/a08/f6flpy-x64.zip.
I tried with the original hard drive in and Windows 7 does not recognize either.
Any ideas on how to get Windows 7 to recognize the drive?
Brian
I understood why Windows 7 does not recognize the hard drive. I tried to install Windows 7 from a USB key. I burned the BONES on a dvd and booted on the dvd and he found the hard drive. It is trying to install Windows 7.

Photosmart 8250 works on Windows 7 comp., but can not find the box tool
Hello
I have a Photosmart 8250 installed on a Windows 7 computer. The printer works well and I know now that the HP Solution Center is no longer available for Win 7 so no Toolbox is available here. However, HPs link called "What Happened HP Solution Center in Windows 7" it is supposed to be a workaround which indicates the Toolbox should available in the Presentation/Services tab in properties or preferences, etc.
My problem is that on my set up when I go into the properties or preferences, I can't tab called features, Services or Toolbox.
Any body got any ideas how I can get the features or Toolbox appears in Windows 7. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

X 230 can not find earpiece/headset bluetooth
You just bought a X 230, running under Windows 7 64-bit. For some reason when I try to add a bluetooth device is not discover my headset Nokia BH-905i. I have updated all the drivers of the system via system update. The headset works fine with my previous Thinkpad X 300, although I notice that the pilot bluetooth so that the machine is a different version (6.2.1.3100) x 230 (6.5.1.270) driver. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the x 230 driver bluetooth. Also tried the demotion to the x 300 driver, but it wouldn't let me install this version. Also tried the suggestion in this thread
to use the xp driver but there again it him will not be installed.
The Thinkpad x 300 is discovered, while the bluetooth radio is certainly working. What else can I do to get the headphones to work?
Found the solution: reset the headset by pressing the "multifunction + volume up. After that about 10-15 seconds, a light green/orange is followed by a flashing blue light fast, ready to pair with the x 230.

If your laptop does not have Bluetooth built in, it is possible to install Bluetooth connectivity using an external Bluetooth USB adapter.
If you have not, look here

How to uninstall Broadcom Bluetooth software that vanish not
Hello, my situation is similar tothis issue for Windows 7, except that my OS is Windows XP SP3. I recently realized that I made the mistake of buying a Bluetooth adapter and install the Broadcom/Widcomm Bluetooth stack driver software. Now that I know that the software is not good, I want to uninstall it. Then I installed the Toshiba stack for the Cirago adapter. Now, when I double-click on the setup.exe file that is provided with the Cirago driver, nothing happens (it does not start the installation program).
I tried to uninstall all the drivers Bluetooth pre-installed in the Device Manager, and I don't see the remains of all Bluetooth drivers there.
http://picasaweb.Google.com/LH/photo/2NAos6BP9UigPtJKaYRGyQ?feat=DirectLink
But I don't see that the small Bluetooth icon has not changed:
http://picasaweb.Google.com/LH/photo/kbxgPP8ZLxhjX4ob2YjSew?feat=DirectLink
I don't see anything on Bluetooth, Widcomm or Broadcom in Add/Remove programs. I do not see any folder called Broadcom or Widcomm in the Program Files folder, either. But I don't see that Broadcom appears in the registry regarding Bluetooth, as shown here.
http://picasaweb.Google.com/LH/photo/hWDo-OzB8ApibzeHA_saxQ?feat=DirectLink
I've also renamed all the files in C:\windows\inf which starts by "bth" so that it ends with ".old".
What should I do now to completely wipe this Bluetooth of Broadcom persistent my computer software?
Thank you.
Hello
Method 1.
It is possible that the device is hidden in Device Manager. You have to click Show hidden devices in Device Manager, and then uninstall it from there.
Reference:
Device Manager does not display devices that are not connected to the Windows XP-based computer

If you are unable to install the adapter of Cirago I would ask you to check the logs in the case where the display for more details.
