Well, now my (brand new, Bluesoleil, otherwise useless) adapter can communicate with the NXT (downloading-starting-stopping programs so far).
OS Vista Home Basic. NXT-G 1.1. FW 1.01.

Inserting USB-BT key

right click in tray icon: “start to use BT”

this appears:

then

then

then

only serial port enable needed

then

it requires that a remote BT be activated, so connect on NXT (PC-LUCA in this case appears on the NXT display) and a message appears on the PC tray to be clicked on

click on the white message area (it asks to)

and next:

Alfie07 is the name of the NXT. Two green arrows mean OK; a red “tick” means KO.

Done.

Now NXT-G can be run.

That configuration must be done once per account.

Other times the working sequence is (insert passwords when required):

PC-Vista on
Switch NXT on
Insert BT adapter in the USB port
Activate BT via BT-icon in the tray
On NXT search (the PC) and Connect (a message appears on the PC telling that NXT is connected)
Open NXT-G environment
Open a program
Click the NXT-icon on the NXT-download palette within the NXT-G window
Scan (unavailable should become available)
If necessary, Connect (available becomes Connected); sometimes it connects automatically, without clicking Connect, just Scanning.

NB : BT is slower than cable connection, but sometimes it is impossible to plug/unplug (repeatedly) the USB in the NXT when everything is mounted
