Vista - Compact Flash Bluetooth Drivers

I am trying to get a Billionton Compact Flash Bluetooth card to work in Vista
Home Premium. Vista says the original drivers are not compatible and not to
install them. I have tried all the Broadcomm, Widcomm, and anyother BT
drivers close to no avail. The card is found by Vista and shows up as Compact
Flash Bluetooth in the Device manager. It seems all of the new drivers are
for USB BT only. I have sent e-mails to all the support teams at the BT maker
sites hoping for an answer. The CF slot seems to be okay since Vista sees the
card. Can anyone help me get this card installed or do you think people are
just dropping CF support? Thanks.

Well, Billionton wrote back and

Dear Customer:

Thank you for choosing Billionton's product.


Sorry, that device only support up to WinXP.

It didn’t support Windows Vista.

Anyone have any other ideas?

That's it - if the manufacturer isn't releasing XP drives you're pretty much
out of luck.
