    Hi - have looked on sony sites and elsewhere for help. The bluetooth device is not working. When starting up the bluetooth light is on yet I am unable to save discovery being turned on or able to add any devices. It did work before but for some reason doesnt now.

    Running XP SP2. System manager shows all devices workimng (USB etc) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Synthesia - thx for the reponse. Not being a techie...does the fact is for Toshiba make any difference? Do I have to edit anything before installing? Thanks

    The Bluetooth module is made by Toshiba on all Sony models as far as I am aware of...at least the recent ones.

    Tried that but asks for a bluetooth device to be plugged in - when the Vaio has the inetrnal one. Tried switching wireless on and off to see if that would help but no luck.
