TITLE: Help with BT-253 error 43 on Asus G51J Windows 7
POST: Hey so i am trying to figure out how to fix this and i keep getting to sent to driver updaters that cost $40!

My laptop is an Asus G51J running Windows 7 Home

I found an article online that suggested installing wireless console 3 and bluetooth broadcom. I installed both, but when i ran the Broadcom program it says it cannot find the bluetooth device because Microsoft Bluetooth stack cannot be run.

So i go and try to download this and microsofts website wants to confirm that my windows in genuine. (mine is) So i click continue it automatically downloads a program and i run it. It comes up with an error saying that the program is now out of date and please download the new version. There is no way to get through this site.
TL;DR: 
Microsoft needs to update their genuine checker and i need to fix the error 43. So i can use my bluetooth headset.
