USB Bluetooth Dongle driver help

Post by DAVE »

i don't know if i have conflict on the driver or any problems
i recently just bought a new USB bluetooth dongle but after i plug it in the computer it can't find the driver for it...even after i install the software that come with it still not working...
i plug the old dongle in and work well (but my old one sometime working sometime not so i have to buy the new one)
i try 2 of the new USB bluetooth dongle but still give me same problem so i guess it might the software conflict or something like that
any idea
thanks
Dave

The new one the same as the old one? I would try uninstalling the software for the old one and then installing the new one.
