I'm having trouble connecting my EZ-B to the software. The EZ-B bluetooth is connected to my computer, but when I try to connect to the software, I get a "could not connect to the EZ-B. Would you like to view the Connection Tutorial?". I ran the firmware update and received this message:
Attempting connection to COM3 Connection Failed: System.IO.IOException: A device attached to the system is not functioning.
at System.IO.Ports.InternalResources.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str) at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream..ctor(String portName, Int32 baudRate, Parity parity, Int32 dataBits, StopBits stopBits, Int32 readTimeout, Int32 writeTimeout, Handshake handshake, Boolean dtrEnable, Boolean rtsEnable, Boolean discardNull, Byte parityReplace) at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.Open() at EZ_B.EZB.Connect(String portName) Disconnected
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a bootcamped Macbook Pro. I have built-in bluetooth.
Any advice is welcome!
Was trying to figure out this problem all day. Here's the solution for bootcamp bluetooth problems.
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. EZB now works flawlessly. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
Hope this helps.
@urbanh, congrats
Hopefully other bootcamp users will find this. I don't know much about bootcamp, but is that a setting within the Windows OS or still in OS/X?
Also, is bootcamp a virtual machine? For some reason I thought it was just a way of booting directly into Windows. What Windows version are you using? XP or 7?
