Bluetooth Stack (Toshiba) incompatible with Vista

Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for windows is apparently incompatible with
Vista. I have XP right now but was considering upgrading to Vista. I
downloaded Microsoft's Vista Upgrade Advisor and it identified software
that was either entirely incompatible or perhaps incompatible with
Vista.

I was advised to de-install Toshiba's Bluetooth Stack for Windows by
Toshiba before installing Vista and not to even attempt to reinstall it.
No recommendations were made for substitutes.

What does one do in this situation? Advice needed please regarding
compatible bluetooth software.

Many thanks in advance.

You contact Toshiba to find out if there is an update available for Windows
Vista that enables compatibility with the Bluetooth Stack.

The Upgrade Advisor will only tell you what is present but incompatible with
Vista, or is known to cause problems if left in place during an upgrade. It
does not tell you what to replace incompatible items with: you have to find
compatible alternatives yourself.

Vista includes a Bluetooth stack with limited ability.

See http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download for Vista Toshiba
drivers. There are several other Vista compatible Bluetooth stacks. You just
have to search for them.
