    Okay so I installed the Bluetooth software found on Sager's website.(BlueSoleil something)
    After I restarted my computer, the bluetooth software told me a new version was avilable. So I clicked the link, and the website tells me I have to pay 19 EURO for getting the newest version of the software???

    So my question is where can I find a FREE bluetooth driver for the NP5793?

    Thanks

    The free version has a 5MB transfer limit.

    Seriously, I'm not paying 19 euro for bluetooth software. I payed for the module itself and I thought it was common that when you buy a piece of hardware, you get free software for it?

    There has to be some free alternatives??

    Yes

    Don't install their drivers. If you have, uninstall them in the device manager and let windows find a driver for it. The free driver works great with no limits.
