Most of the Vista issues have been resolved with Vista SP1. Bluesoiel and Dongle may have caused corruption, and as a result you may need to perform a restore to a point before you installed those, or you may need to reinstall Vista, download all updates and sp1.

Try this:

1. Connect to windows update- download/restart, then go back and keep repeating the process untill there are no more updates available for you.

2 If your bluetooth driver is not automatically installed through updates then go to device manager click the (network) adapter, If Bluesoiel or anything else is listed uninstall it. Go to (C) drive/program files and delete any dongle/Bluesoiel files, restart and try reinstallation.
note- if you see a exclamation on the bluetooth adapter, cick update driver software and let it search your computer/internet for the apropriate driver and/or navigate to the downloaded Aspire driver yourself.

3. If all this fails- type perfmon into search bar, click it, click continue, click reliability monitor and check the stability report.
