This is my fix to get my Motorola PC850 Bluetooth dongle to work with Vista.
This was done and tested on Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition.
Once you insert your PC850 windows will be unable to find a driver for it.

When it prompts you for a driver choose:
"Browse my computer for driver software"
"Browse my computer for driver software"
Choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
- Here choose GenericAdapter under manufacturer list
- Now choose Generic Bluetooth Adapter
- Click Next
Windows will give you a warning that this driver is not recommended for ....blah blah blah...
Just click "Yes" to continue using the driver.
You should now have a bluetooth tray icon.
Now you can add bluetooth devices and they will work!

This is what your adapters properties should look like.

Thanks man!!!!!!! i'm very tired of seek this shit in internet, sorry my bad englesh, i'm brasilian. thanks!!
Thank you! Fantastic work and its a shame i couldn't figure out something as simple as this! Guess i need to stop over analyzing things.
It does not give me the option of "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." How do I get that function to come up?
