    I have this adapter:

    Belkin : Support : F8T016 / F8T017 - Software and Drivers

    the one you see at the top thats smaller than the tip of my finger, and I need the drivers, yet it asks for a serial number, I threw the box away as soon as I last got it working but now I don't have it and I can't find the serial number anywhere on the device itself.

    A similiar thread:

    If anyone could help such as fonduekid did I would be very happy, I need to get the latest Windows 7 drivers haha, thankyou :)

    You just need to see the VID in Device manager and search for the driver on google.
    (Widcomm or Bluesoleil usually have the almost complete drivers for all kind of bluetooth models)
    eg. in Device manager, right click the device > properties > Detail
    and see the USB\VID_XXXX

    Bluesoleil im sure will probably work just fine its not free though. You can try the trail to see if it works though.

    I had bluesoleil and it wouldn't let my computer shut down, it made it freeze, this is why i'm going back to Belkin drivers :)

    Just put all zeros when you click on the "Register to download the Software and Drivers" in the serial number box , just fill both boxes with 00000/zeros

    If Belkin are stupid enough not to include the serial number on there products :(
