Very dissapointing purchase.  This software will not run on Windows7.
customer support is zero.

OK I installed and unistalled the software many times, now the IDE is working on my windows 7 machine.
Not sure why it works after several attempts but....
During the process of loading and unloading and scratching my head, yesterday morning when i fired up the computer there was a dialog box on the desktop saying the computer needs to be restarted to install windows 7 updates.  After the updates were installed i loaded the IDE software again and it worked.

this is an awesome product, but it should really contain some type of driver so phones can work on it. luckily i managed to get mine to work after a few hours of doing research. to get your device to work just simply follow these steps.

  Download the 'Windows Mobile Device Center' ( current version is 6.1 ) which you can download it from [...] ,this works for both Vista and Windows 7. I've tried it on both.

- Install the downloaded software but it may not look like it worked on Windows 7 PCs. Vista automatically configures the settings on the bluetooth devices but for those who have Windows 7, here are the things you should do:

- Go to 'Device Manager' from 'Control Panel' -Or- just right-click on Computer Icon and choose 'Properties' and then click on 'Device Manager'.

- You'll see an 'Unknown Device' named 'Bluetooth Peripheral Device'

- Right-Click it and click on "Update Driver Software" -Or- anyway you find it easy to bring up the Update driver window.

- Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software" button.

- Click "Let Me Pick from a List of Device Drivers on my computer".

- Select 'Bluetooth Radio' from the list if it asked you to select and then in the next window, it will show a list of drivers with Company Names in one list and Drivers in another. In the Company List choose 'Microsoft Corporation', not only Microsoft.

- From the drivers list there may be one or more drivers with the name "Windows Mobile-Based Device Support" with different driver versions. Select one or the latest.

- Ignore any warnings and keep pressing next and then Finish at last. If all goes well, the last screen will show the message that device driver is successfully installed.

Now, after manually updating the driver for your bluetooth device, in 'Device Manager' when you click on 'Bluetooth Radios', it should display one more item which will say 'Windows Mobile-based device support'.

There are few more things that you want to pay attention to. If you have already added the device in your 'bluetooth device list' that didn't work, then remove the device and add it again. After you add it, you might need to restart the computer if it gave you a connection problem error message.

Every PCs that had Windows 7 and Vista worked after installing this software and I hope it will work for you too.

Just make sure to update Windows 10 first.  I had to plug it in then do a Windows update manually before it was recognized.

I cannot get  this to work with provided drivers or Windows 8.1 drivers.

ok, I saw the 5 star ratings and quickly bought it, then I saw some of the 1 star ratings and seen the issues people had with it.

I'd figure that I'm pretty inclined enough to figure out the issues and did not cancel.

I received it pretty fast and as soon as i could, got ready to set it up..

I've heard that the disc didn't work for a lot of people, particularly with Windows 7. So i downloaded the drivers from the website and winpcap as well from the winpcap website

hooked up the dongle to the ethernet and the usb port, and..... GOT NOTHING.  At 1st I thought maybe the computer may have "USB not recognized" problems, so I tried to unplug and put it back in, nothing, rebooted, nothing. Googled all the tips I could find, nothing At this point, I was ready to send in back in frustration.

I have another computer that I am building that is in working condition and decided, what the hey. However, this pc  has winows 7 x64 which I kept hearing that IT DOES NOT WORK FOR IT. But I didn't care at this point, I even used the CD that came in the package. Lo and behold, the CD worked fine in my 64 bit, AND the dongle was detected just fine on the 64-bit.

I ended up hooking it up to my xbox 360 and had pretty smoothin gaming with no hiccups. It does get a bit warm, but it is typical .

Now some of the issuesI may think some people may have. on the 32bit/x86 machine, I have a wireless adapter hooked up to it to give it wireless access. I t seemed to me that the programs kept detecting the wireless adapter and not the dongle when it was plugged in. I tried to unplug the adapter and the program didn't even try to search no matter how much i refresh.

the 64 bit pc only had a mouse and keyboard connected and everything worked fine.

I'm not sure how sure I am about that being an issue, it is a something I may try, but unplugging all usb powered devices (except mouse and keyboard) and rebooting to see if it works is something to try.

Just a quick update.

I have yet ran into any problems with the device yet. Playing online has been pretty good so far and no disconnects.

Spent way too much time attempting to connect and function on Win 10 64 bit OS. USB or wireless connections both fail to operate. Suspect issue with Win 10 driver. Gave up, installed on wife's Win 7 PC via plug in and play driver auto install and works perfectly.

I could not get it to work on either a Windows 7 or Windows 8 machine.  On both, the screen would remain black except for when the cursor passed over, then you could see the cursor.
To Andrew at Sabrent:  I'm not sure if this is the 4th or 5th time I have replied to your request but here goes, one more time:  after being unable to get it to work, I returned it and was given a full refund.  If you would like me to try it again, send me another one.  I will gladly give it a try.  Reply to this and I will provide you with my address.

The only issue was getting the drivers to install correctly with Windows 8.1. I would post the steps that I used, but I tried several methods and I cannot say for certain which method worked for me.

Plugged it in and it worked.  Windows 7 automatically found it and installed the proper drivers for me.  No muss...No fuss.

Unfortunately, this unit isn't working for me and my Windows 10 64bit desktop.  USB 2 - non responsive.  USB 3 - It will allow me to browse a 32gig SDHC for about 10-30 seconds and then it will repetitively and continuously dismount and remount the drive media, taking it offline, then back online until I unplug the unit from the computer.  Two other brands of external USB card readers are working in the same USB 3 and USB 2 ports (I bought 3 different branded readers).  I later tested this with an older Windows 7 64bit laptop and the drive *DID* appear on a USB 2 port.  I have a ticket (#19393) into Sabrent regarding this.  Is this a Windows 10 compatibility issue or a defective unit?  Hoping for a simple fix or replacement.  UPDATE: Sabrent tech support replied and am currently working with a support tech on a possible replacement unit?  UPDATE2: Sabrent is mailing a replacement unit to me - hoping for a good outcome...  UPDATE3: I received the replacement unit and it is working well.  Sabrent tech support was extremely supportive.  Stars changed from 1 star to 5.  Works great now!

Software is not loading. I did find a Windows 7 machine. Driver is not loading. A very disappointing and silly issue to have in year 2018.

There's a lot of these on Amazon. I would recommend trying another. Half the time I turn on  a device it doesn't auto connect and when I click on it in win7, it gives me error message and have to reboot PC, then it works.

I got this for my laptop that runs on windows 7, ans so far it has worked great.
When you first get it you have to download so stuff so it can work, but that doesnt take long ( go to YouTube for details)once you dodownload and update it works fine.

This graphics card worked great when I installed on Windows 7. The upgrade advisor (Microsoft) stated it is completely compatible with Window 8, no upgrade needed. Problem is, that as soon as I installed Windows 8, the drivers won't work.

It was excessively difficult to contact Asus, but when I finally did get a response, it was to inform me that no Windows 8 driver was available and that I should just be patient. I was not happy with that answer.

To make a long story short, tech support at Microsoft, AMD and ASUS were equally not at all helpful. I finally discovered that the problem was with a corrupted file in Windows 8. The only thing that worked was to do a "Refresh Windows" which blew away Windows and all my installed programs, but saved all apps and data. That fixed the problem, only there is now a lot of work to do to rebuild my work environment.

All in all, the card works great again now, but it would have been very nice to have had some sort of support to help me find the problem, instead of me having to spend a couple of weeks searching for an answer which never came. If not for the cruddy support, I would rate it 5 star.
