you are correct you are currently using the windows program,my question is
when you bought your bluetooth did you have any cd come with it, if not if
you can return it i would and would look for a belkin bluetooth, the one i
have is able to transmit up to 330 feet, and the software comes with it, if
you can't return i suggest doing what i said before like looking on the web
whether it is from the site of the company of your adaptor, or other sites
to see if they offer the features you want for your adaptor.
