Hi Guys and Gals
I just picked up a IOGEAR USB Adapter , model ,GBU221WM at Walmart.
I went to the home site and got Vista software for it. The program apears to
install right , but when I get done installing it , windows vista wants to
install 3 different drivers for it.
In device manager they are called other devices , (3 times).
Windows canot find drivers anywhere on my pc or the net. I don't know what
they are fore,so I can't look either. It is something on the USB adapter
that I plug in.
Anyone come across this to ?
thanks.
Carl G

no but try this fix to see if it repairs your problem

This solution has worked for some people with problematic USB devices:

Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf

Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and
give
your account full control.

Delete INFCACHE.1, or rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to
your
desktop.

REBOOT

Hi jonathan
Well I think that did the trick , got it installed.
Now I got to figure out how to use it.
What I want to do is copy or backup my address in my phone , which is
recognized by the pc.
Do I need 3rd party software to do this or is bluetooth supposed to do this
?
As you can tell I am totally lost here.
Thanks

no problem if i can't help there are thousand other who can, and fortunatly
i have pretty good xp about bluetooth, to answer your question, it depends
if you are using the software provided by the bluetooth device cd or if you
are using the windows program for bluetooth, if you are using the windows
program, then yes you will want to use a 3rd party software, because and
forgive the language the windows bluetooth program is ****, the reason is
because they wanted to have a software that would work on most bluetooth
adapter then they had to forgo a lot of features that bluetooth offers, if
you have a cd that they gave you when you bought the adapter more power to
youit'll make your job easier, if not i would recommend going to the site of
the manufacturor to see if they have software available, and here's come to
worst part, if they don't, then that means you would have to find a software
that is both compatible with vista(GOOD LUCK) and also compatible with your
adaptor (EVEN ORE GOOD LUCK)

Hi jonathan
Well Device manager says I have Broadcom Bluetooth 2.0 EDR USB Dongle,
And under it it says Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator.
I don't know what I got, there is no program listed under all programs, the
pages that come up look to me like a windows program.
I can transfer pictures back and forth but have no option to transfer text
or address book.
I am still lost here.

you are correct you are currently using the windows program,my question is
when you bought your bluetooth did you have any cd come with it, if not if
you can return it i would and would look for a belkin bluetooth, the one i
have is able to transmit up to 330 feet, and the software comes with it, if
you can't return i suggest doing what i said before like looking on the web
whether it is from the site of the company of your adaptor, or other sites
to see if they offer the features you want for your adaptor.

Hi Jon
Well I got so dam dicusted with it and vista I uninstalled it.
I have it on XP and it works right except I don't get to copy my address
book from my phone.
I can do photos and videos if I want but don't do that stuff.
Kinda looks like maybe the phone don't have that capability.
Thanks Jonathan
