Bluetooth Peripheral Device

4 replies · 18,256 views · Started 25 September 2007

I'm running the latest version of Nokia PC Suite on Windows Vista Home Premium.

My N95 seems to work fine on Bluetooth but I keep getting a message that Windows has 'found new hardware for Bluetooth peripheral device' however, it can never find the software to install it.

This doesn't actually seem to cause any problems and so I should probably find something better to do than post about it but I was wondering if anyone else has seen this and what, exactly, is Windows finding on the phone that it's trying to install.

I had the same annoying problem.

Try to delete your device from windows bluetooth tray. Reset your pc. Then go to Nseries PC Suite and in the Connection Manager add a new Bluetooth Device (Your Nokia). Then on the computer add a key, then on the phone and... that's it. Works fine for me.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

To be honest, I'd forgotten about this as it doesn't seem to have any ill effects other than a few annoying entries in the Windows Device Manager.

Try it. It's a Vista bug this "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" nag window.
