    Has anyone been able to get the MS bluetooth stack to work on their Asus laptop with built in bluetooth? I have an A8Js and while the Asus supplied Toshiba stack installs and works fine, if I remove it, and I reboot, Windows recognizes that there is an unknown USB device, but it won't install the Microsoft BT drivers. I've tried everything I could think of, but the MS drivers won't install.

    So if you've done it, how did you do it?

    Why would you want to use the M$ stack? It's inferior to the toshiba stack. If it's not broke, why try to fix it?

    I know that I have had a lot more issues with the M$ stack: mouse not connecting, constant drops, etc. Once I got the proper stack installed I have had no issues.
