I'm trying to set up my Bluetooth and I don't have an icon in the task tray.

When I try and run set up it says the radio is disabled.

How do I enable it. For some reason it's looking like I don't have Bluetooth??? Although there is an indicator light for it, beside the WLAN light...

When I go to Bluetooth Information Exchanger I get a message "Bluetooth has not started".

When I go to settings and click on 'new connection' I get a message "Bluetooth is not ready".

I have my wireless turned on.

I must be missing something ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You have to enable it in the wirelesss manager in the task tray.
Do you have a webcam?
If not, you don´t have Bluetooth.

yup like TinyRK said...u need to open up the Sony Wireless Device Switch program in the taskbar area and select the "Enable Bluetooth" option to make it work if your pc indeed has bluetooth inbuilt...
