• Broadcom Bluetooth Drivers For Windows 7

Broadcom Bluetooth Driver (Windows 10) This is a 64bit Windows 10 driver for the Broadcom Bluetooth driver. Note that this driver is the same as the Realtek Bluetooth driver. This identifies as a Realtek Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter however they both use the same driver. So many hardware distributors use the same hardware that their drivers can be changed. Latest Broadcom Bluetooth Driver I was having problems with my IOGEAR GBU321 Bluetooth Adapter with a Plantronics PLT510, under Windows 7 RC 32-bit. The newest Broadcom driver solved my problems immediately. Don't use the latest IOGEAR drivers(GBU321_v5.5.0.44), they do not work. Drivers: Broadcom Bluetooth Update.

I was messing with syncing my Omnia to my laptop via Bluetooth, and my MSI Bluetooth dongle didn't seem to be working properly. I decided to download and install the update from.

While there is a fix for the 100% CPU, and there are some (iffy) video drivers available, stable graphics drivers, mouse integration, and clipboard integration would be extremely helpful. It seems that VMWare was able to write the 98 additions for their solution. Graphics driver windows 98 virtualbox. Windows 98SE on VirtualBox. And Install Windows 98 SE. Create new VM on Virtualbox. Windows 98SE on VirtualBox (with video and audio drivers). I've heard lots of good things about Scitech Display Doctor v7, and it does indeed give me nice graphics (24-bit, 1024x768) in my Win98SE guest under WinXP host. Only problem is that it's a trial version that expires in 21 days and nags relentlessly.

Everything seemed to be going well, until. Suddenly my machine seemed to be possessed.

I watched in horror as the icons from my desktop started disappearing. An error popped up saying the install couldn't find the cab file it needed. The popup dialog said I needed to verify that the file existed. I looked, and the file DIDN'T exist. I was offered no help and no alternatives. The only two choices were find the file (that didn't exist) or cancel.

Broadcom Bluetooth Drivers For Windows 7

So I canceled, and then the computer completely crapped out. When I went to reboot, the machine told me I was fucked. I am currently trying to repair via a restore point with my Windows 7 disk, but I'm pretty freaking unhappy about this. On top of this mess, the whole 'deleting icons from the desktop' thing REALLY FUCKED ME, because it deleted files from my Microsoft Mesh environment. How in the world does a driver update ERASE YOUR DATA?! I am worried that I am not going to be able to recover some EXTREMELY important files that this 'update' deleted from my Live Mesh folders (stupid me for thinking something 'in the cloud' was safe --I thought because it was synced to three computers I was OK, but since those computers were all on when this happened, Mesh 'synced' them by deleting all the files that were erased from my laptop). DO NOT install the Bluetooth driver/software update from Broadcom's website.

It will KILL your computer. Thanks, Broadcom. [UPDATE] This is much worse than I'd thought. Not only is my machine completely out of commission, but when I plugged the system hard drive into another machine to simply retrieve my data before having to do a complete new OS (and all programs) install, I found that the VAST MAJORITY of my data has been wiped clean. Edimax setup.

Music folder, Pictures folder, Videos folder, Documents folder. I would say that the file SetupBtwDownloadSE.exe hosted on the Broadcom site is a virus, not a Bluetooth driver update. I'm not sure how Broadcom can defend hosting a file that will completely destroy your computer and all your data, especially when they are purporting that it is a Bluetooth driver update.

I am astounded (and at a total loss). Anonymous said. Anonymous said. Add me to the list. I was getting some 'bluetooth stack error' so I went to the Broadcomm site to get the latest installer - big mistake! I thought it was strange when my desktop icons started disappearing. Luckily my last full backup to external drive was a month ago and I do small updates 2nd hard drive so data loss will be minimal.

Is is sad that some of these posts are 6 months old and people are still getting hit! Even scarier than it happens through Windows live update. Windows 7 64 bit Premium. Anonymous said. I've also just now run into the same bug, though thankfully I caught it while it was rooting through 'Program Files', before it reached Users -- and I had backups, anyway. What's particularly odd is the way it gutted the system.

It took out HP ProtectTools suite, while leaving behind the third-party fingerprint software that's embedded within the suite! It also took out Firefox, but not Internet Explorer.

It also hit 'Boot BCD', but left behind 'AMD'. This rules out a simple recursive delete. Unfortunately, I've been unable to reproduce this failure in a virtual machine -- and it's impossible for them to fix it if we don't have a guaranteed way to reproduce the issue. Anonymous said. June 3rd Here. I have the file (I kept my partition intact 'just in case') and I do see that file.

I can see it trying to uninstall the old driver. The last steps before the deletion started happening for me seem to be: [BINS_SetEnvVariable] Add(0): BTW_MINOR_UPGRADE = 1 I tried with processexplorer to kill the 'upgrade/uninstall' process when I noticed things were not going right but I think I failed to do so because it kept erasing more and more file (I should have just shutdown the machine). I might contact Broadcom over this. It's unbelievable that their driver has such a bug. NO THANKS A million broadcom.
