Bluetooth Peripheral Device driver failure in Windows Vista and Windows 7 (solved)

[ Edited ]

I had problems setting up Bluetooth HotSync.  Following the directions for pairing the device resulted in a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" missing driver in Device Manager.  I finally figured out how to setup HotSync and am able to sync over Bluetooth to Windows 7 64-bit.

 

 

On the PC
  1. Right-click on the Bluetooth icon and select Show Bluetooth Devices
  2. Delete the Palm Phone
  3. Right-click on the Bluetooth icon again and select Bluetooth settings
  4. Turn Discovery on for the PC
On the Palm Device
  1. Select Bluetooth
  2. Turn Bluetooth On
  3. Set Visibility to Hidden (if desired)
  4. Select Setup Devices on the Bluetooth screen
  5. Select HotSync Setup
  6. Click Next
  7. Select your PC
  8. This is the important part:  Click Next 3 times (don't do what the screens tell you -- just click Next, Next, Next)
  9. Click Launch HotSync
  10. Viola!
