The driver software installed alright but the bluetooth device unable to see it under devices and printers did not show at all and would not discover Casio Commando cell phone in the bluetooth mode, Unable to detect it on the cell phone either. Tryed latest driver from BroadComm still the same problem and could not even access the settings for it either.

    This guide on the Iogear website points you in the right direction -> http://iogear.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a\_id/2544

    Here is basically what it says

    If you are having problems installing the software or having problems connecting to a device you need to set the Windows Bluetooth Services to auto.  Click on Start and Search.On the search line type Services.  Open your Microsoft Sevices you will see a list. Scroll down and select "Bluetooth Support Services Properties" and set the Startup Type to Auto. Try installing or connecting again.

    I have the same problem, funny thing is that this problem is happening on a HP DV6 laptop computer, but when I use the dongle on a HP desktop and it works there. I contacted the Live Assistance support and they are giving me a warranty on the product. Has anyone solved this problem? Does it have to do to an interference in the motherboard? I'm puzzled.

    I have same problem. Installed the drivers from the website and from the mini-CD and same result.  When the GBU521 is installed, the app to run "Devices and Printers" hangs and can't even find the printers in my printer list.  Have installed, rebooted, uninstalled over 5 times with no result.  No relevant information on Iogear website.
