thanks mate.... you def have alot of faith in my abilities to do the above and not make a complete F**K UP of it all :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

To be honest, any option that I may suggest to you will require some learning.

Vista does have Bluetooth drivers. Have you tried installed via the Device Manager?

Another option would be to download and install the latest version of Blue Soleil, but it's only a trial version.

I'm going to begin to experiment with my machine later, but I can't test the dongle on Vista, because I haven't received it yet.

I have an Acer Aspire laptop running XP. Is there anyway that I can load XP onto the AcerOne without having to buy it again?

Thanks

Not legally! Your licence will only cover one instance of Windows. If you were to remove it from your laptop, then it would be OK.

Actually thats not quite true, if it came with the laptop then it is OEM and therefore non-transferrable between machines. To be able to do that would require a retail boxed licence.

I think the poster was more interested in the mechanics of it rather than the legality issue!

Could always download Windows 7 - and use it for free until it's properly released?
