The packaging included an orange notice that if one has a problem installing the adapter to go to the D-Link support site. That driver package includes the driver for the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Vista. I attempted to use the setup disc and found that if you have Vista, you should not follow the installation instructions nor use the enclosed set up disk. I have Vista Home Premium for 64bit. I just received Rev. D-Link should have included installation instructions for Vista and all of the drivers. C of the adapter. I did attempt to install it and after 4+ hours of trying I went to the Toshiba web site and downloaded the latest driver for Vista and Rev.
Then I found a 2nd setup.exe file deeper into the Zip file. I should have assumed there would be a problem as there was. C, the latest design, of this adapter, but the enclosed instructions and software were not for Windows Vista, just XP. However the first setup.exe file you find attempts to remove the Toshiba driver provided with Vista, but Vista stops that file from completing the removal. That was the tip I did not pick up on. Vista told me that the driver on the disc is provided by Toshiba, not D-Link, and Vista will not let it be installed. That one worked, finally. I will not buy another D-Link item again.
After downloading the software and attempting to use this product I kept getting an error message stating I did not have the proper liscense. I bought a similiar product from the local Walmart store for a couple dollars less. I had to go to the FAQ page to get the instructions. The adaptor finally worked after about 45 minutes of downloading current drivers etc. No problems whatsoever with the installation. I would not recommend the DBT-120 Bluetooth Adapter.
I use a Mac and had not one problem with the product. Just follow the directions and you are good to go.
The problem is that the DLink has to work with USB 2.0 and if your Mac has usb 2.0, it probably has the built-in bluetooth already. Their "help" department couldn't answer that simple question, I had to research it myself. It is advertised as being Mac Compatible, but only if you have USB 2.0. Suck feast.
I purchased this product a couple weeks ago, and it was so easy to set up.I just plugged it in my G5 Mac tower and within seconds it found my Logitech bluetooth mouse.I would recommend this to anyone who needs blue tooth for their G5 macs who do not want the hassle of going into your G5 and manually installing bluetooth.I really disliked the cord on my G5s mouse and I'm lovin' it now.AAAAAAA+
