Using a 3DSP Combination Bluetooth - 802.11b/g Wi-Fi PCI Card (Model #EPABW01) for about two years now. Upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium. Worked fine with BlueSoleil OEM v2.0.7 (XP) and 5.4.xx (Win7).
I bought v8, and couldn't turn on BlueTooth, or activate software. Windows reports a problem with the BlueTooth Card due to a problem with BlueSoleil 6(?). System reports a BlueSoleil software upgrade to fix the problem. They keep sending me to an ERROR 404 page.
Either way, this software DOES NOT WORK on a product which was compatible with the earlier software versions. It DOES NOT WORK, in spite of the fact that the software company lists the manufacturer (3DSP) as product-compatible with this software version. To answer any doubt, my PCI card did not suddenly quit working due to installation errors from two years ago. Nor did my PCI card or computer suddenly develop some weird defect, or virus. I DID UNINSTALL the BlueSoleil v8, and re-install the BlueSoleil version which came with the card. It worked perfectly!
Upon re-installing, and using ALL DEFAULT PERAMETERS, I still could not activate the v8 software. Believing that activation of the software may be the problem, and downloaded the manual activation tool, and used that to activate the software. That also was to no avail. I now have my older version of the free BlueSoleil software which came with the card, and it is all good...
Now, I have an activated registered copy of BlueSoleil v8 which will not work on this system. I am guessing that I will not be able to even try to use on my laptop, since I manually activated it on my desktop. If BlueSoleil cannot help me to fix this problem, I would appreciate a refund to my PayPal account.
