    Hi!
    I installed i fresh copy of winXP on my SZ360.
    I used the following post, which btw, rocks!
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=46619

    anyway, when i tried to install the toshiba bluetooth stack, after the install reaches %100, it simply close the screen and the installation stops.
    i tried downloading a newer version from toshiba (the original installation file from sony was "TODBLT-00967520-US.EXE" and the new version from toshiba was "v42001T_20060711.exe").
    the newer driver from toshiba works. but, i have a 30 day period of time.

    so, what can i do? how do i install the one from sony (or disable the 30 day period from the toshiba version?)

    thanks for all the help in advance :)

    I had same problems when I tried reinstalling the bluetooth stack download from the sony support site. But it installed fine using the recovery utility (you'll need to install the app and the driver). Good luck.

    Ever tried to close all windoes?
    Usually you should see another windows behind all other windows, and in this one you have to click OK.
    That is the reason why the installation stops. Had this issue before too tho. :)

    Check it...

    i dont think this is the problem
    i am pressing ok on that window, and the installing starts (i see the toshiba logo..)
    after 100% it simply exits the setup and then i see nothing (no conermation that the setup had complete or something like that..)

    anyother ideas??

    Did you install just the driver or the whole stack?
