I did a scan for Bluetooth signals and I found a signal. The device name of the Bluetooth shows 26:62:12:11:43:30. Can you tell me what kind of device emits a Bluetooth signal with such a name?

It's hard to tell what devices are detected by your scanning procedure. From what it seems, 26:62:12:11:43:30 is Bluetooth MAC (Media Access Control) address. You can use a RF field strength meter to track down the locations.

First activate Bluetooth on your Doro phone. Turn on the WIDCOMM Bluetooth on your computer and create a Bluetooth connection using the Bluetooth icon found in Windows System Tray. Right click on the Bluetooth icon and choose 'Find Devices'. Select your Doro phone from the list and your computer will send a request to your device. Accept the request and your computer will be paired with your phone.

You need to install the drivers first then check their installation using Device Manager. It is known that Bluetooth causes problems and the installation is usually not finished. Access Device Manager and make sure that there are no yellow entries in the list of devices. You might need to perform a manual repair to fix the problem. However, when the installation is finished, turn on the mouse and press the pairing button underneath.

I have an Acer Aspire One Pro mini laptop and my Bluetooth is not working. When I switch the power on it doesn't power on. Therefore, I have tried several times to download but I can't due to the "The device is either not turned on or not connected properly" error message. What should I do?

I have an HP G62 PC. It came up with WIDCOMM Bluetooth installed and every time when I try to access it, I'm receiving the "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect" message. What should I do to fix it? Should I reinstall the software?

P
Answer by Pete Clapp

You're receiving this error because your computer doesn't have the correct C++ runtime components. In order to fix it, download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) or Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) from the official web page. After that, reinstall the WIDCOMM Bluetooth drivers.

The application used to display that information is developed for all the models. This means that you will see it even if the laptop does not have support for the mentioned technology. It's more easier to develop a product compatible with all the models, rather than developing the same product for each laptop.
