    Hi.

    I've looked a lot of topics through and searched forever on google and I can't find anything about it!

    I got a Zepto 6214W with bluetooth ofc. but I cant get it to work with my Vista 32bit system. Simply cant find a driver which works.

    They don't have any driver on their ftp server for vista 32bit at all and I cant find any other anywhere.

    I've tried to install the XP driver and when I press FN+10 (for enabling bluetooth) I get the error that I need some pherial error and cant send files from my cellphone to my computer. So I just need some bluetooth driver software which works on my Vista 32bit "danish" version.


    While I'm at it, does anyone have some SGH-D600 Samsung cellphone software which works on vista? So that I can transfare files or images with my USB stick. Cause I cant right now when that software doesnt support vista either.


    But first of all the bluetooth thing! I really need it to work badly. Please help me out here :)

    You've got the problem right there.
    You tried installing the XP driver under Vista = trouble. If you had just tried to enable the Bluetooth device without installing anything for it, it would have installed the Vista default Bluetooth drivers for the device. Unfortunately you might have to reinstall Vista now to get this to work.

    I don't have Vista, so I'm just going with what I know of Win XP here...
    Try removing the existing Bluetooth device. Then reboot and let Vista automatically handle installing the device.

    Well you can try uninstalling the Blue Soleil software, but if that doesn't work, then i believe the only other way is to re-install Windows.

    Hmm well I've tried uninstilling the prevouis software of the bluetooth from winXP I had on, and now I just the error which says: "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" I need to insert a disc with the driver on. But I dont have any :s

    Isnt there some Vista Bluetooth driver I can download somewhere? :s Maybe that would just work to install that one? Cause when my Vista tries to find one it just asks me to put in a disc.

    I had the same problem as you with the 'pherial error', I have e-mailed zepto sweden a several times and they just say that vista should find the drivers by it self, but it doesn'n. Anyway, with the pherial error my SonyEricsson k700 still manage to establish a connection with my znote 6214.

    Vista, just as XP, by default finds a standard Windows Bluetooth driver for the built in Bluetooth device in the 6214W if you have not tried installing other pieces of software for the Bluetooth device.
    All i know is that if you install a piece of software under Vista for the Bluetooth device which does not recognize the device you may have problems getting Vista to install the default Windows driver unless you make a complete reinstall of Vista.
