1.	Solve : Install bluetooth DBT-122 adapter on windows vista?
Answer» Hi there! For my newyear (happy newyear to everyone btw :-)) I GOT a bluetooth adapter from Dlink (model number: DBT-122). I downloaded the drivers for windows VISTA and I tried to install the device. However, I keep getting the question if I want to install the driver. I click on accept this driver and a few seconds later I get the question again. If I click I don't accept this driver, the same problem hapens again. The window looks like this: http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/235/vistayb7.jpg (it's in dutch but I have described what it asks (=do you want to install the driver)). Even running the setup in compability modus (winxp sp2) or as administrator didn't help anything. Can anyone help me pls?Good to SEEYA again blackberry ! ! Have you tried temporarily disconnecting from the web and disabling your firewall and Anti-Virus apps and re-installing the driver ? ? Also you may want to check the driver CD that shipped with the machine to see if the Bluetooth MBoard drivers are in fact installed already.Quote from: patio on January 01, 2008, 04:42:29 PM Good to seeya again blackberry ! !

I've entered the bios config, but I didn't see anything about bluetooth, just the amount of ram and some other specs, and boot order from devices but nothing about bluetooth. I don't think it's the hardware because the software refuses to install, even before the hardware is connected. If I put in the adapter, I get a notification that the device is found but it can't be used because there are no drivers for it. I suspect vista that refuses to install the driver because it thinks it is pottential unsafe. Is there any way to disable the notification if you want to install the driver even though it is in vista eyes a bad one?Turn Off UAC
