Microsoft Update Bluetooth Driver?

#1 Post by Kamika007z » Mon Dec 04, 2006 12:14 am

Hey all,

Did anyone install the Microsoft Update Bluetooth Driver? I just saw that Microsoft Update named "IBM Integrated Bluetooth module"

Anyone else install this? I installed it and looks like an alternate driver to the one Lenovo offers.

Thank you

I installed it and it messed up My Bluetooth Places, so I went back and reinstalled the Lenovo drivers.

Anyone else recommend just using this instead of the Lenovo version?

Thanks

I strongly recommend that you *not* use it. If you want, make a backup and then install it to see how it goes so we can know about it for sure in the future; if not, then stick with the IBM/Lenovo provided Bluetooth driver and avoid the MS Bluetooth driver.

I gave it a shot and saw that it works pretty well.

It seems to run just fine. No extra quirks or anything.

First I uninstalled the Lenovo drivers, restarted, then used ccleaner (ccleaner.com) to remove the old obsolete registry entries.

From there I went to windows update and installed the IBM bluetooth driver.
