i recently bought a bluetooth headset (plantronics 590a), but i can't get it to work properly with my laptop. The sound is great, but i can't get the mic working. Since my laptop wasn't born with BT i bought a dongle (years ago) and today i'd installed the drivers for it. The dongle is a level one (MDU-0005USB and drivers where downloaded).
After installing the driver, a 'bluetooth wave' is appearing in the sound settings, and it connect just fine with that. But as soon as i start the bluetooth manager i just installed (Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba, v4.00.35) the service.exe in the Task Manager starts eating whetever CPU there is, and its constantly at 100%.
It is not possible to manipulate with service.exe since its a windows system process. If anyone knows how to work around this, or can help me with my initial problem (getting the mic to work) i would greatly appriciate it. Thank you in advance,
i am not sure why your mic is not working, but in relatition to service.exe i may have some helpful info sourced from another site.
Quote:"Service.exe" is NOT a Microsoft Cororation Program but Services.exe is. Be carful not to get them confused. Service.exe is add ware for a program that installs itself and gives you a message that runs in hidden mode, this message says: "Too many critical errors! Fix your registry now to avoid system crash and data loss." The program it wants to install is called Registry Magic. Dont use this software as it may add other add products to your computer. Download Process Explorer, its free; and kill this process. Remember... you want to kill the one that says "Service" NOT "Services"
Thanks for the answer gozilla! after your post i checked again and unfortunately its services.exe i have problems with. I had read it wrong the first time. Im sorry about that.
It seems like, its only when i connect my bluetooth dongle services.exe starts eating up all the cpu power and the it dosn't help to unplug it again.
I think i will get a dongle made for headset, since it seems like im not the first one to experince mic problems with this headset, so maybe both problems can be solve by this.
