@jcrupi try rebooting. Make sure you are using the built in windows bluetooth stack. third party drivers will not work. is your bluetooth internal or external? (i.e. is it a usb dongle or is it built in your computer)

What is your processor speed? or model number

It's a Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7

Running VMWare.

I am able to connect to the with ARC and it seems to be updating the firmware.

We can't support communication through vmware, as it's never been tested by us. Can you dual boot into the windows OS natively, rather than vmware?

The way to tell if it is updating the firmware is by looking at the EZ-B larger LED. If it flickers while the firmware is uploading, then it is receiving. If it does not flicker, then it is not receiving.

Because it never completes, it is not receiving.

The vmware driver must be dropping packets.

What you can try, but this is just a guess.. If the software emulation is not keeping up to our required speed, then add the EZ-B to your Mac OS. Then share the communication port to your VM Image.
