Hi I have recently performed the installation of Vista SP1 to my DELL INSPIRON6400 laptop. I am now getting an error message saying that the driver for "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" is missing while I trying to crate a PAN in between my Laptop and my Samsung mobile SGH J210((EDGE supported). Now I have to connect via data cable! I have used theDELL download website to update all the installed drivers, but this does not cure the problem. The hardware ID is shown as:- BTHENUM\{db1d8f12-95f3-402c-9b97-bc504c9a55c4}_LOCALMFG&000f Bluetooth Specification & driver : BT Broadcom Corp-Widcomm 355 module IDE v 6.0.1.3100 Problem signature: Problem Event Name: PnPDriverNotFound Architecture: x86 Hardware Id: BTHENUM\{db1d8f12-95f3-402c-9b97-bc504c9a55c4}_LOCALMFG&000f OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.2 Locale ID: 1033 Read our privacy statement: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=50163&clcid=0x0409 tried to check for driver updates from broadcom website and downloaded the updater,but it's giving a message: "Your BT software can't be updated using this web site bucose the device is not supported. Please contact the manufacturer of your BT device for further details." Any help greatly appreciated! With personal regards,Arunava Das.Kolkata, India.

Hi, In some forums I found that some other Windows Vista users encounter the same thing. Maybe the Samsung mobile SGH J210 does not support Windows Vista. I suggest that you contact Samsung India and confirm if it is the situation. http://www.samsung.com/in/support/main/contactcenter.do Important Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support.

Also, you may try to connect the phone to other Windows Vista systems and check if it works.

Arthur: While there is a slight difference in the problem that I am experiencing with my RIM BB, but these issue look pretty much like twins. The issue seems to be that the drvier for the bluetooth device "disappears". I was able to connectmy HP Pavilion/dv5000 with my Blackberry just a couple of weeks ago. Windows update ran and then...POOF. Please help us if you can to locate the original bluetooth device drivers for Vista. Thanks, -e-

no i can not locate the original bluetooth device drivers for Vista.-Arunava
