Error message about Bluetooth driver for Nokia N80 phone
The Nokia N80 phone has worked successfully with a Bluetooth connection for
most of the time since I started using the Windows Vista computer 9 months ago. The phone is still working but a few days ago I started getting the following message whenever I restarted the computer (Dell laptop Inspiron 1720). "Found New Hardware Windows needs to install driver software for your Bluetooth Peripheral Device (Choices) 1. Locate and install driver software (recommended) - Windows will guide you .... 2. Ask me again later - Windows will ask again the next time you plug in your device or log on. 3. Don't show this message again for this device - Your device will not function until you install driver software." Locate and install driver software got me nowhere as the Nokia software seemed to be the latest. (I had eliminated the Bluetooth mouse as the source of the error message.) The phone seems to still be communicating with the computer without problems using Bluetooth (despite the Windows warning that the device will not function). The error message window is the only symptom of the problem. The only recent updates made to this computer in recent days (that I am aware of): 1. Just before (or perhaps after this error message) I downloaded the new version of Nokia Software Updater v1.4.56en and used it to download Nokia PC Suite version 7.0.8.2. 2. Skype was installed recently (version 3.8) 3. Dell Support Centre Update 2.2.08100 4. Mozilla Firefox was updated to v3.0.3 (en-US) 5. Nokia Flashing Cable Driver 8.23.0.0 Any suggestions? |
