need driver for Windows 7 for bluetooth

I have ipod touch with 4.1 and windows 7 64 bit home premium. When I try to pair the touch and the computer, the pair starts but on the windows side it says it can't find the driver for the device. Looked at windows update and through the forums and can't seem to find anything.

Any suggestions where I could find the necessary ipod driver for Windows 7?

Windows 7

You can't pair a touch to a computer using BT. The Touch only has BT profiles for stereo headphones, stereo speakers and peer to peer gaming. You may be able yo pair it to a BT car stereo. You can't transfer files using BT.

Please read it and understand it before coming back telling me that iPod does not connect with computer via Bluetooth. YES it does FOR STREAMING MUSIC VIA BLUETHOOTH and that is all I need.

The iPod touch 3rd generation is able to connect via Bluetooth with my Windows Vista with no problem to stream music, however with my Windows 7 64bit, I can't find the driver.

The Windows 7 64bit does not connect with my iPod 3G via Bluetooth because the lack of a driver. Any ideas? Thanks

Reviving this because I couldn't find the answers anywhere else. After doing some research, I found this page describing the problem: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/apple-ipod-t ouch-bluetooth-not-working/fc05abc7-c54d-4fe1-a1a3-754991232e4c?page=1

However, the solution therin mentions manually selecting AVDT Drivers for your device, which don't seem to exist on Windows 7 64 bit.

Some assistance would be greatly appreciated.
