    I purchased and installed an internal Bluetooth adapter (got it for $20 and it installed in 2.5 minutes...very easy).

    I've tried installing the driver package from Acer and it didn't install all necessary components though it does work very well. Can anyone suggest a package that will work nicely and completely?

    BTW, I have and Acer 5580 T5500 C2D and the BT adapter is mad by Radio-something (it's st home and I'm at work).

    I had already found that page, but there aren't any software packages to download (unless I'm a blind idiot... :eek: )
