I can get the phone to pair with my pc via bluetooth but it cannot load the appropriate drivers and fails to connect. What's the fix?
On issue it's probably best using the USB Cable to connect and set up Your drivers..
That doesn’t work. Drivers download but fail to properly install.

and see if it may be what you need.
Thanks. I’ll check this out when I get a few minutes. It looks fairly involved.
This did not work. Drivers download but cannot install. That’s the same thing that happens when I pair them.

I can pair the two devices without a problem. In that process the pc tells me it is downloading drivers but then I get an error message that installation of the drivers failed. The two devices are not able to connect.
Uninstall all the drivers for your PC bluetooth device and then re install them afresh. If you do a right click on the "Computer" icon on your desktop and then select "device Manager" are there any flags on devices not operating correctly? Correct those problems too.
There Not Talking to Each Other) then i would revert to the USB instead...
What drivers are failing and are you following the instructions listed in link, the system wont install the drivers on its own, you have to direct them to the driver and then allow it to install even after it says its not supported..
This should work without issues..
That's Correct mine Hooked on the First Hook Up) With the USB Cable
I use the usb as a last resort with my device, I use bluetooth all the time and when not using bluetooth I am using NFC or wify transfer.

If they are connected via USB they are fine. When I paired them via Bluetooth the downloading and installation of drivers happened automatically – I wasn’t given anything to respond to. I’m not sure where I would find those drivers in order to uninstall them but I did go to the devices and uninstalled my Bluetooth independent device (a Bluetooth gizmo that plugs into a USB port on my 2 year old computer with Windows 7.) I couldn’t get my Droid X to connect via Bluetooth either. I’d just prefer to send the MANY pics I take of my dogs to my computer without having to drag out cables all the time.
Some of the Bluetooth-USB plugin gizzmos just will not work with all Bluetooth devices no matter how hard you try. If you really want to get Bluetooth working and USB is not a good alternative for you, then give up on the Bluetooth adapter that you have and do a google search for a Bluetooth adapter that will work with your phone and Windows OS version. I'm sure someone someplace has reported success with a particular device. Usually the small button adapters are less than $15, many less than $10.
If you right click on "Computer" and go to "Properties" you most likely see a usually 2 drivers that did not load (These will have a yellow or red asterisks), you should be able to install these drivers by following the instructions posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/675207.
This is a common issue when loading a mobile device with bluetooth, it loads the basic drivers but not the more technical drivers to be able to push files and audio and voice communication.
Follow the instructions exactly and your issue should be resolved.
That's a strange one, it looks like all drivers are installed that is needed, I am surprised you are still having issues... Is the bluetooth you are using a usb dongle or a built-in bluetooth unit?
It’s a USB dongle. I’m guessing you think that’s the problem?
Mine is a generic USB as well. "Generic" is really a misnomer, the radios are pretty much all made by the same companies - it's how they're packaged and marketed. I bought 3-4 of the ones I have for like $3 a pop and it works...but the key for me was doing the windows Mobile Device Center install - nothing working until then.
