Windows 7 Strange BT problem! Works with 64 bit, 32 doesnt!

[Askani]

Ok, so I had windows 7 64 bit, 704x (cant remember last number) installed and I have a BT mouse, working wonders. I also have a BT headphone, a nokia bh-501 that worked flawlessly in this version.
But version 7057 leaked, 32 bit... and I downloaded and installed it but to my surprise, my bt phone doesnt work as it should anymore... It pair up but cant seem to find drivers in windows update!
So, any ideas why this is happening and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

It seems like you've encountered an issue with Bluetooth connectivity after upgrading to a different version of Windows. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem: 1. Bluetooth Driver Compatibility: Check if the Bluetooth driver for your BT headphone (Nokia BH-501) is compatible with the new version of Windows (7057, 32-bit). Sometimes drivers designed for older versions might not work properly with newer Windows versions. 2. Manual Driver Installation: If the driver is not automatically found in Windows Update, you can try manually installing the driver for your BT headphone. You can usually find the drivers on the manufacturer's website. Make sure to download the correct driver for Windows 7057, 32-bit. 3. Device Manager: Check the Device Manager in Windows to see if there are any unrecognized devices or devices with missing drivers. If your BT headphone is listed there with an exclamation mark, it indicates a driver issue. 4. Compatibility Mode: You can try installing the driver in compatibility mode. Right-click on the driver setup file, go to Properties, Compatibility tab, and check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select your previous Windows version. 5. Update Windows: Ensure that your Windows installation is up to date by checking for any available updates. Sometimes Windows updates can include new drivers or fixes for Bluetooth connectivity issues. 6. Bluetooth Troubleshooter: Use the built-in Windows Bluetooth troubleshooter to diagnose and fix common Bluetooth problems. 7. Reset Bluetooth: Resetting the Bluetooth connection on both your PC and BT headphone can sometimes resolve connectivity issues. You can remove the BT headphone from your paired devices list and re-pair it. Try these steps to see if they help resolve the Bluetooth driver issue with your Nokia BH-501 headphones on Windows 7057. If the problem persists, you may need to seek further assistance from the manufacturer or a technical support team.
