Guest Karlerm Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Yesterday I allowed an unpdate from Microsoft Update called, "IVT Corporation - Other Hardware - Bluetooth Wireless Hub" along with a couple other updates. Now I my dell wireless keyboard won't connect and I cannot enable the checkbox to "Turn discovery on". I get an error message that says, "An error occurred while Windows was saving your settings. The following settings were not saved: Discoverability settings Connection settings" It sounds like the file or place used to save the settings is locked or corrupted. Does anyone know where the settings are saved? Also, how can I uninstall an update? Thanks.
Guest JimBal Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 The update should be in your program list when you go to control panel>add/remove programs. Just remove/change it there and it should uninstall.

Guest Karlerm Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately there is no listing that I can find. The software must have been a driver of some sort because it screwed up my Bluetooth Wireless keyboard and Motorola PhoneTools. Neither worked after the installation. Any other ideas are appreciated. I spend 2.5 hours on the phone with Dell and still can't resolve the problem. "JimBal" wrote: > The update should be in your program list when you go to control > panel>add/remove programs.

I think the search expression you need (at least in XP) is "roll back". (E.g. press Win-F1 and enter that in the search box.) Hmm... looks like you need to get into Device Manager's Help instead. E.g. press Win-Break, click on Hardware tab, Device Manager button then press F1, search for "roll back" and choose an item... BTW this issue probably would be better handled by a newsgroup which specializes in hardware for your OS. If you had disclosed your OS I would have cross-posted my reply there.
