Hey folks --
I asked a similar question about a year or so ago with my previous SZ (a 360P) and, once again, I'm having bluetooth issues with my machine from P1. I've got a bluetooth enabled phone from LG (an 8700) that supports file transfer.. and I'd like to be able to go on there and grab my camera files and transfer them to my computer via bluetooth.
On my previous SZ I was, after much messing around, able to browse onto my phone files via the bluetooth information exchanger (which was, through Windows Explorer, listed under "Computer"). I don't remember what I did to make the file folders on my phone accessible by my computer but, in any case, I can't get to them now on my current machine.
..and, for that matter, whenever I try to enable the bluetooth info exchanger, I get a message saying that "Bluetooth has not started." Similarly, when I go to the Bluetooth Manager, it tells me my radio isn't on. I am, however, able to see my LG phone through bluetooth settings ---- and my phone is able to recognize my computer, etc etc.
This all feels very familiar to me, as I remember going through it on my last SZ, but can't for the life of me remember what, if anything, I did to make the bluetooth information exchanger work with Vista.
ANY help would be much appreciated. This minor annoyance is eating away at my sanity.

Sony actually has updated bluetooth firmware (along with the original drivers shipped with the computer) on their update site for my model:

I installed both, and now everything's working fine. Plus, it's legit.
