no problem if i can't help there are thousand other who can, and fortunatly
i have pretty good xp about bluetooth, to answer your question, it depends
if you are using the software provided by the bluetooth device cd or if you
are using the windows program for bluetooth, if you are using the windows
program, then yes you will want to use a 3rd party software, because and
forgive the language the windows bluetooth program is ****, the reason is
because they wanted to have a software that would work on most bluetooth
adapter then they had to forgo a lot of features that bluetooth offers, if
you have a cd that they gave you when you bought the adapter more power to
youit'll make your job easier, if not i would recommend going to the site of
the manufacturor to see if they have software available, and here's come to
worst part, if they don't, then that means you would have to find a software
that is both compatible with vista(GOOD LUCK) and also compatible with your
adaptor (EVEN ORE GOOD LUCK)
