    I wanted to know the difference between the SZ220 and the SZ220P. Does the "P" mean that the system comes with Windows XP Professional or something? Because apparently when reinstalling my SZ220 to professional, i lost bluetooth capability.

    If the "P" does stand for Professional, i was wondering if i could order the SZ220P recovery disk and get a functioning laptop with Professional and Bluetooth.

    Thanks

    I also just install a clean xp pro onto my SZ220 that i got from bestbuy. I downloaded all drivers from sony and installed in "their order" Everything appears to work fine but the bluetooth is not working. It shows under USB devices in hardware. After i install the toshiba bluetooth stack, i dont have a bluetooth icon, no way to pair devices etc. I even tried the SmartWI utility and i can not add devices. It shows bluetooth as working. Any ideas??
