I just bought and received this usb dongle from Importer520 and it was not immediately recognized by my Windows 8 laptop. Where can I get the drivers?

Bluetooth chip vendor is called CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio). Google search "windows 8 csr bluetooth driver". http://www.driverscape.com/download/csr-bluetooth-chip But I have not tried it yet.

I had no problem using the small disc on my 1 yr old laptop but am having problems with the driver. Waiting on an answer to my question now. Running win 8.1 and the com port is not recognized. Suspect serial to usb driver issue since all usb devices except this badge works.

The Adapter comes with a CD that has the driver.If you did not get one please email us at Support@iSharkk.com so we can send you one right away.

win7 will generally find the drivers intuitively. However, after research, i have found that while a practical idea, some applications, like PonyProg for instance, will not work with this. The serial connection has to be straight to the mobo, not extended with a USB

I am running windows 8.1 (64) on a laptop. I probably loaded a driver that came with the drive, but I did not download anything. I have had no problems at all except that I would like to operate throught a usb3 hub and that is not reliable.I use the unit heavily and highly recommend it.good luck!

I didn't need driver's for this item myself as I am using a Linux machine with this item and it worked right out of the box. As far as Windows goes I guess you could check windows update for a driver update for your PCMCIA slot, or the manufacture of your laptop. Other than those two places I am unsure where you might get the driver. Another suggestion would be if you have another computer around you can download the driver from the disc to a thumb drive and load the driver to your laptop that way. I personally have had to do that in the past.

Can't really answer your question because the dongle I received from the seller didn't work at all... I found it to be to much trouble to try and return the item...

Yes this dongle works with Windows 8.1 which is what I'm using right now. You shouldn't install any software, just plug-and-play (i.e. I had issues installing the software but after calling their customer service they told me installing it is NOT good for Windows 8.1 and you have to just plug it in and use it)

I have windows 8, and it works perfectly, maybe you could update your usb/chipset drivers...

I use windows 7 and it detected and installed driver automatically once i plugged it into the usb. The green light should be on to indicate it's working.

I downloaded the driver from the manufacturer website, but it still didn't work with my devices. I'm not savvy with computers at all

Go to B links website and download the software. I also got a error with the download though. I am using windows 7 (64). The software works, but it sometimes blue screens my computer when i plug the USB in. Good luck!

It should come with the necessary driver software. You shouldn't need it though. Windows should recognize it.

It should work on XP...i don't know about older versions of windows tho.In my case I have windows 7 laptop and dongle works great. I suggest you try it out..if not then simply return it.

I would avoid, it uses a proprietary chip set so it needs drivers. I would use another generic dongle I think there is one from Mono. I can check my order history and let you know.

There is no drivers to download. It's just plug and play. It connects like a flash drive. It should show up in Windows explorer/library.
