Is the Acer BT using Widcomm drivers? If yes you'll need drivers version
1.4.10 at least.

Hi back!

The drivers are supplied by Widcomm to each manufacturer. You'll have to
look on Acer's web site for the update. Not all are released at the same
time, and not all have made the 1.4 available yet. AFAIK we have TDK,
Bluetake, Belkin, DLINK and a few others. Drivers from one company will not
work with an adapter from other company.

Yesterday, i downloaded the newest driver from the ACER web site, but the
installer of the software only says, that i use an unsupported Windows.

Does anyone knows, how i could use this bluetooth stick with my laptop?

Hi everybody!

I found the way to use my bluetooth stick with windows 2003 server:
http://www.jonscaife.com/bt/index.html

There's a manual, some patches and drivers for connecting this bluetooth
stick to an windows 2003 server based computer.

It seems to work!
