Propeller Tool hates my bluetooth device

Propeller Tool (whatever version)·hangs (showing Propeller Communication window - Checking COM4) if there is no propeller chip connected and bluetooth program BlueSoleil (IVT Corporation ver. 1.4.9.5) is running. It happens·sometimes that I forgot to·connect USB cable to propeller or it is not powered and then I end with screen full of windows - checking COM4, checking COM5 and so on (these are virtual COM ports created by BlueSoleil·for bluetooth communication). It is not possible to close or end task (I am using Windows XP) these, only way I can close computer is reset button.
It is not because of my laptop, tried·also on other computer.
Bluetooth USB Adapter also works fine.
Propeller Tool and·Propeller Demo Board work fine, only if BlueSoleil is running there are·these problems.
For example Basic Stamp Editor does not hang while BlueSoleil is running.
So as I plan to use bluetooth modules in Propeller board, this problem needs first·to be·solved .
Is·there anything that can be done or I should·get·different bluetooth adapter and program?

This should solve the problem.
