Get Bluetooth to work with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.

About
This small freeware utility will try to install generic Microsoft driver for your
bluetooth adapter. The program is based on a widely known method of
patching %WinDir%\inf\bth.inf file.
It works for most (but not all) bluetooth adapters, both USB dongles and
built-in. (See the list of bluetooth devices and hardware IDs known to work.
Note that this list is not exhaustive.)
Before making changes to your system the program automatically creates a
restore point. If anything goes wrong you can use Windows System Restore
feature to revert all changes made to your computer.

USB Micro Adapter but your bluetooth driver software took
care of all of my issues!
