My main desktop running windows 7 64bit doesn't like my cellphone either when connecting it via bluetooth, but on my windows 7 32bit I don't have any problems. I haven't playd with it much though. Did you try downloading the drivers for your phone?
edit: oh wait it wouldn't matter if you had the drivers or not because it won't even detect it. Do you have your phones bluetooth on and your phone set to were it is visible or your bluetooth device on your desktop set were it is visible?
Yeah both are check marked to show up and be visible. I did in with CF2 and XP. I'm hoping the 32 bit will fix the problem. Shame this is the only peripheral device not working with my setup. After getting the GPS to work, i'd like to keep the 64 bit version, but w/e i'm sure it'll run just as good as 32 bit. I got my phone to connect to my girlfriends car too. She has a Clarion touchscreen with bluetooth and it works fine. Not like I need all that processing power and ram in my car pc since all I ever do is run CF3.1
So are you running 32 bit in your vehicle and 64 in your house?
I almost wonder if I bought a 64 bit specific bluetooth dongle that's on microsofts site as guarenteed to work. The one I had that worked with xp wasnt even recognizable in windows 7, then I spen $30 on a win 7 compatible dongle, but didnt think to make sure it had 64 bit drivers. It's not on the approved list. That's what I get for jumping the gun, like i always do though haha
Ok so my windows 7 32 bit arrived today, and i also solved my bluetooth issue by installing bluesoelil and activating it with my bluetooth key from centrafuse. Voila! I can get into the phone settings, pair my phone, and make and recieve calls now. All i have left is to install my Andrea noise cancelling microphone and I should be all set!! Funny how i fix all this just as I paid $140 for another windows.... i'll just install that on my home pc...
congrats. Sucks that you paid for another windows 7, but at least you can use it as you said.
I just want to update this thread to say I installed win 7 32 bit oem and was able to use my 64 bit oem key.
