Looking at the details in your post I have little to work with. But let me share. On Windows xp, vista and 7 my usb bluetooth adapters plug in and just work. I didn't have to install drivers.

And these are those 6 buck adapters you see all over!

I've found folk claim that and they lose weeks over that. Get the 6 buck adapter and get it done.
