Hi:

See if installing the latest W8 BT driver works for you...

This package contains the driver installation package for the MediaTek/Ralink Bluetooth in the supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

But the application cannot run on my PC. that is the reply i got when trying to install the application. Please i need further help.

 please kindly help out with a version that is compartible with hp 650 window 8 intel processor, sinlge language. I seriouly needs it.

You're very welcome.

Sorry that driver didn't work.

The only other suggestion I can offer, would be to see if this older version works...but it is newer than the one on the HP 650 support page.

Sorry that didn't work either.

I checked the driver files for the drivers I posted, and they do not contain support for the hardware ID you posted.

That is why they didn't work.

I checked the driver file for the driver from your notebook's support page, and it does have support for the hardware ID you posted.

Try manually installing the driver as follows...

Download and install this free file utility.  The 2nd item on the list is for 64 bit.

http://www.7-zip.org/

After you install 7-zip, go to C:\SWSetup\sp59632 (that is where the Ralink bluetooth driver folder is located).

Open that folder.  Click on the Win7 folder to open it.  Then click to open the amd64 folder.

Scroll down the list, and you will see a cabinet file named BlueSo~1.

Right click on that folder and select 7-Zip from the menu.

Have 7-Zip Extract to:  And let it extract that file into its folder.

Once that is done, go to the device manager and click on the bluetooth device that has the hardware ID you poste.

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to C:\SWSetup\sp59632.

Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and see if the driver installs that way.

Then restart the PC.
