bluetooth driver/assistant for HP Compaq 620

[ayrandreger]

Can you please direct me to a download site for whatever software is needed to drive a CSR 4.0 dongle on my Compaq 620 laptop running Windows 7 - 64- bit version - so I can connect to a bluetooth speaker (model BTC06).
I'm now using the Toshiba Bluetooth Manager, and that is a 30-day evaluation version - after which they'll want to be paid - except that I wouldn't know who, how, or where to pay them !
Cheers from down under,

NOTE: I'm running a 64-bit version of Windows 7 -- NOT a 32-bit version !

That indicates the outfit you got it from so it doesn't matter too much if they don't get paid. Drivers should never be sold.

Change your IP address by using a Proxy so they can't get into your system to uninstall anything and you can just carry on using it

So is the bigger question here, why isn't windows just detecting and installing some drivers that just work, maybe without bells and whistles, but they should work.

The plan (as per saga lout).
Wait for 30days, see what happens, it might stop working and await a license key.
If it does, then we hunt around a bit more, i'm not liking what I'm seeing though.
If that fails, buy a new BT USB stick, preferably one from this decade (although mine's ancient and is fine), can't imagine it being more than $10.

Or just buy a $10 dollar dongle that will come with drivers and put a rest to all of this nonsense! oops did not see last post.

I shall 'keep you informed' on how the rest of this saga unfolds 😉
