Hey guys,

I just got this fancy new usb bluetooth v4 dongle! Nice. Now, when I plug it into my win8 desktop it installs the microsoft 2006 drivers and everything is okay, it works perfectly. However when I plug it into my win8 laptop (both are win8 pro) it installs the 2006 driver but says this:

This device cannot start. (Code 10)


{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

If I click update on the laptop it goes ahead and finds some broadcom drivers online, which give the same result. However if I update on my desktop then it says the 2006 microsoft drivers are the best ones.
I tried copying the system32 files from my desktop and overwrote those on the laptop and restarted but it still says the same thing - what is going on?!?!

UPDATE: I tried uninstalling from device manager and reinstalling, now my laptop says the microsoft driver is best, but it still doesnt work :(

Wow! Worked like a charm on my Acer D260, after turning on BT support services, updated drivers by pointing at downloaded windows 7 drivers for atheros from acer, not sure why/how it worked, but nice! Thanks!
