    BT peripheral device problem

    I have bought ASUS F3KE-AP057C notebook. I have question concerning its bluetooth module. Everytime I want to connect my mobile phone via bluetooth, there is a message that the bluetooth peripheral driver was not found. Though this message, the available profiles work fine but a new device with warning symbol appears in the device manager. I am using preinstalled VISTA 32bit Home Premium. In bluetooth devices part of device manager, there are two items - Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and Generic Bluetooth Adapter. I suppose, that means I am using MS bluetooth stack (there is also Bluetooth devices icon in the control panels window).

    I would like to get rid of the annoying message, I've desribed. In ASUS support download section (and on included driver CD), there is a driver??? called "Vista Feature Pack". But this driver seems to be already preinstalled and the only thing I can see related to it is an empty folder C:\Program Files\CSR\VFP.

    I wonder thus, what excatly "Vista Feature Pack" is (another stack which should replace MS one?). Maybe I should install another bluetooth stack (toshiba, blusoleil, widcomm?) but I don't suspect how to find out vendor of my hardware ant if it is supported. I have read some article about pid and vid device id's but i am not sure, if these numbers are not derived from currently installed stack (maybe lame question)?

    Thank you for your comments in advance
