Instructions:

click the download icon and it will start the download ..

download the file 

1.extract all contents of the zip file to ur desktop or where ever u like

2.click on Install.exe don t click on anything else :) they are for windows 7 and u will land up with same problem :) 

3.The software will detect your bluetooth automatically and uninstall previous drivers and will begin the process for installation it took me about 5 mins for the whole procedure might be more for ur laptops ..so u have to wait until installation finishes 

4.click next then it will take you to "where you want to install" once u choose the default folder click next

5.It will ask u to restart your laptop restart your laptop and thats it bluetooth will be working again.. :) 

lastly press win key and type bluetooth and u click on the bluetooth settings 

go there and pair your devices to have an hassle free experience :) 

or u can right click on the bluetooth icon and pair your devices :) 

hope this helps
