A. MANUALLY INSTALL CSR DRIVER IN WINDOWS 7.
SOME NOTE:

1. Open device manager and under the OTHER DEVICES you will see yellow exclamation mark on the:
CSR_BTPORT_01

This refer to your bluetooth where (CSR BT = bluetooth PORT = port) simply mean CSR BLUETOOTH PORT.


2. The second device was "CSR BlueCore Nanosira" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers"and normally installed Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited. Whenever a devices doesn't have any yellow exclamation mark, windows will recognize the device installed and working properly.

SOLUTION:

Change the CSR Bluecore Nanosira to Generic Bluetooth Driver
1. Look for "CSR BlueCore Nanosira" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers"
2. Right click on it and select "Update Driver Software"
3. Then select "Browse my computer for driver software"
4. Select "Let me pick form a list of device drivers on my computer".
5. There will be several drivers there including CSR ("CSR BlueCore Nanosira").
6. select "Generic Bluetooth Radio" from the list and clicked OK.
7. Continue with on screen installation.

After that you will notice"Generic Bluetooth Radio" and "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator"listed under the "Bluetooth Radios" and the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar.

 B. LIST OF CSR DRIVER
For  WIndows 7 32-bit

For Windows 7 64-bit
Download  , and extract it.
Then install "64-bit" driver.


C. INSTALL IN COMPATIBILITY MODE
For this method, first you must download your Bluetooth vista driver from your manufacture.
After that:

1. Before installing - right click on the driver and select properties, the select compatibility, the select run this program in compatibility mode for" Select windows vista.

2. APPLY and OK

3. Then right click again on the driver and select run as admin

  16. I 'm facing the same issue on an old Win7 laptop with a TP LINK UB400 bluetooth dongle (which is in fact a rebranded CSR dongle). You can download the CSR drivers from TP Link website. Search for "ub400" in the tplink website. This is byte-to-byte the same drivers as the CSR (it even displays "CSR" on the installer splash screen)
