Hello,
I'm new here. I always like to see a new place to look for answers, and / or, answer questions. Nice to be a part of this.
At this point I have upgraded 2 of my 3 computers from VISTA HOME PREMIUM, to WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM. There were a few glitches after the upgrade, but that is to be expected. After a few days of work, I was able to get all going as well as it was in VISTA. I'm happy about that.
The only disappointment: Why did MICROSOFT remove "Out of the box" Bluetooth support in WINDOWS 7? It took me a couple days to figure out that I needed the Toshiba Bluetooth drivers to get audio streaming going again.
I use Bluetooth to stream Pandora internet radio throughout the house. I know that MICROSOFT would rather have me do it another way, but I've been set up for Bluetooth for years now, and I don't want to change.
Happy to be here.

I have a belkin USB bluetooth dongle. Windows 7 has biult in drivers for bluetooth USB dongles. Did you check on the Toshiba website for your Windows 7 drivers? Most of them are installed if Windows 7 has them.

Miscrsoft's way would stream it through the Homegroup Network! which by the way works well.
