There’s a good post on fixing bluetooth in Vista here. I’ve had success with a kind of half-arsed version of their method as well (don’t ask me, it was a couple of months ago). The forum thread for Wrj4P5 on the Processing.org forums also has a bit of discussion about this.

I’ve found too many references to failures on ThinkPads with built-in Broadcom Enhanced Data Rate adaptors, as well as being a little concerned about the license validation hack program used by that method. I’m very grateful to Tim for finding it. I’ve managed to install Broadcom XP software 5.1.0.3300 (which worked with the Wii remote on my NEC XP laptop) after uninstalling the Microsoft’s shabby excuse for a BT stack and the Lenovo driver. All works just great and I’ll try the Vista version of WIDCOMM when I have nothing better to do (it failed to install when the MS and Lenovo files were on the machine). I think we will be able to help a few Processing and Wii users out there, back to real work for now. Thanks Tim and dev-toast.
