    I've decided to downgrade my Sony VAIO VGN-Z21WN from Vista Business to WinXP SP3. Most of the drivers were installed OK, but I definitely have problems with my BlueTooth adapter. I have installed drivers from here. They have installed normally, without any warnings. The tray icon is displayed with red (= bluetooth is disabled) and after right click on it and selecting "Start using bluetooth" the following message is displayed:
    Code: 
    Bluetooth-device was not found.
Please check, that your Bluetooth-device is correctly connected and enabled
    What is interesting, I have just started downgrading another notebook (Acer Aspire 9300) and I have similar symptoms there. Maybe I am using the wrong driver? Thanks in advance.
    Another message is "A sharing violation occurred while accessing C:\...\Temp\btidtemp1.ini".

    Thanks to everybody!
