Windows 8 WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software

Dear Nakakuc4, i think i found the issue. :-)

When installing WIDCOMM software, its searching for btwrsupport.dll in C:\Windows\System32 which was missing, I dont know why that dll is missing.

So i just downloaded a sample dll from net. I used this link originaldll.com/.../24090.html

and pasted it in C:\Windows\System32  and C:\Windows\SysWOW64. After this i reinstalled BT software and it worked.

A big thanks to you all for taking so much time on this issue which motivated me to find the root cause.

Please pass this fix to our friends.

Hi Guys.

DELL VOSTRO 3400

It seems to be a general problem here as i am facing same thing as well, i have a problem finding a compatible Bluetooth driver for my  Dell Vostro 3400 Notebook, after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8pro successfully

On the process while upgrading to W8 it says i should uninstall the WIDCOMM Bluetooth  that its not compatible to W8 am about to install which i did, and then i' ve been trying to replace the Bluetooth device back, not succeeding, with my search all i can see is for W7, 32/64 bits.

Where can I get an updated version that is compatible with W8?

i want to know if there is anyone who have had same issue with same notebook i use.

i'd be greatful to see ur reply.

Thx.

Hi Micky...

Please check whether you have this file btwrsupport.dll in C:\Windows\System32 or in C:\Windows\SysWOW64. 

Hi Aravind ...

i have just checked but i didn't see the exact  file  btwrsupport.dll in my C;Window; System32. .....could iit be the probelm?

Yes, that's an issue. Download a sample dll from net.

I used this link originaldll.com/.../24090.html and paste it in C:\Windows\System32  and C:\Windows\SysWOW64. After this, reinstall BT software.

Me too I'm stuck at the same place as you and me I'm in windows 7 :(

 

I don't really understand, but whatever...

Arvind, even I am having exactly the same problem and still not found any solution.

Pls help!!

 

Thanks

Hi,

I am using Studio XPS 1647, i recently upgraded to windows 8 and now i am facing issues with installing WIDCOMM Bluetooth which i had to uninstall during the upgrade. Can you tell me how can i get this installed?

I am having the same issue but with an Inspirion 3521.  I've updated drivers twice via dell support chat.  Neither of these were able to install and run properly.  Another call to support got them to send a technician with a new network card.  I did not think it had anything to do with the card, as it had worked perfectly with windows 8.  Problem began after 8.1 update.  I was right, the new card changed nothing, and of course since the tech was sent to me to replace the card, not to actually remedy the problem, he left without being ANY help at all.  Now I am tired of spending time with support, would like to fix myself.  So far i have spent at least 30-40 hours trying to get my new laptop to connect to my phone, keyboard, mouse, printers via bluetooth.  Thanks windows 8.1!  Sorry for whining, I just had to vent, this is very annoying.  Any help would be most appreciated.  

Thanks, David Kea

If you have the Dell Wireless 1705 card, then I think I found the right driver for you: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/inspiron-11-3137?driverId=5KRT8&osCode=WB64A&fileId=3336280365&languageCode=EN&categoryId=NI The problem is that the drivers listed haven't been updated to work with 8.1. The one listed for the 3137 is actually updated though! I had the same problem - couldn't get any driver to install with 8.1 - and this one worked. I hope this helps!
