I have never used the device with Win8. Sorry. I have Win7 on the laptop I use this device with.

I use Win 7, but since you have the device working, maybe I can answer your question about where the file is found. Using SpO2Review, I look up previously saved data. If it does not show when, tell to "review": Using Windows Explorer, go to c:/program files (x86)/SpO2/Data. Click on the blank data file, then click Compatibility Mode (at top of Explorer). The files will appear and then will be recognized by SpO2Review. Choose the file to open.

Well , I am running on ancient xp and it works ok . 64 bit 32 bit i dont get but its probably windows 8 64 bit may be the prob. Does sound like a driver problem. maybe if you have an older pc around you could use or try? try a friend or whatever.

I had trouble with mine, until I down loaded a different driver. sorry I forgot where I found it but you can search on line for the driver from other sites that sell this.

Hi Justin, I have one of these gadgets but once I installed it and used it, it worked fine and I have not had any issues with the driver, I wish I could be of more help, good luck

I had mine working on windows 7 and it worked fine. I'd say give it a try since there is no download to get it to work, it just connects in the USB. I really enjoy it!

I'm running it on Win 8 w/o any drivers and it runs just fine with the Win 8 built in drivers. Just plug it in. Remember to use the supplied dual USB plug because you can't get enough power from one USB 2.0 port to run the unit at it maximum performance, otherwise. It needs two USB ports for the extra power. You might try using a USB 3.0 port wince they put out more power, and then only use one usb dongle too. I haven't tried it.

make sure your OS is supported..if running in win8 use compatibility mode. if you are using a usb hub try going directly to the computer

You need to install the software that came with the USB adapter.I managed to plug in the adapter and Windows 8 made it work automagically. You should notice a bluetooth icon on your taskbar indicating that you have a bluetooth device installed.If after plugging it in, waiting a few minutes until windows installs it properly you don't see the blue bluetooth icon then you need to install the software manually forom the cd that came with your USB adapter.

It works at the hardware level. Windows 8 will see whatever is plugged into it as USB devices.

Has anyone tried this with Windowss 8 yet? I have the Qstartz BT-1000q that worked with Win 7, but USB driver does not work with Win 8.

Have not seen a Windows 8 Driver for this yet but it works "plug 'n play" for Windows 7 without using the driver disk. If you have already made your purchase & tried unsucessfully to install it, try this: Physically remove the device and then open up device manager & "uninstall" it. Reboot your computer and then plug the adapter back in. When the "hardware found" driver install dialogue pops up, be sure to allow it to "search online" To see if it will find a driver. I can't say if this will work with any certainty because I don't have Windows 8 and haven't tried it.

My was working with Windows 7 before it broke. Does it work with other operating systems? If not, then you have a bad unit.You shouldn't need special drivers for Windows 7.

Hi Jessica, sorry for the late reply. It appears it does work with Win8. So you should definitely get one.

In my system with windows 8.1 I found that yes it was recognized sometimes, most not until I installed the drivers; then the usb 3 came alive. if you have not found the right ones email me through my seller account here.

I have two of these. I have plugged them into three Windows 8.1 computers. All thee recognize the device and download the drivers automatically, but return the error "this device cannot start (code 10)." Thus, I am sad to say, No.I would note that both work just fine on the Windows 7 and Vista machines here.

It loaded right up on my Windows 7 laptop which is 6 years old. Unless you are using XP/Win98 there won't be a driver. Did you plug in both cables?

Yes it is, just plug the USB in and it'll install drivers from there that work just fine. I'd suggest updating the drivers off of Corsair's website, but it should work out of the box with Win8.

I can't get mine to work. It seems that it isn't compatible with my windows 8.
