Bluetooth????

[spandex]

This is not my strong point but I am trying to use the bluetooth device on the computer which has Vista as the OS. But it keeps on asking for the bluetooth peripheral device? I have a Sony Ericsson phone and the disk it came with is not helping!

So do any of you know how I can fix it?

You need to make sure that the Bluetooth is activated on the phone.

Go to Settings / Connectivity / Bluetooth and make bluetooth active. The 'puter should then be able to talk to the phone (you may need to set device names and device passwords)

Sorry I forgot to add that the computer has talked to my phone but ever since then when I start the computer it is asking for the bluetooth peripheral device?

But I will try what you have said derall.

Sorry, Beyond me then! I can manage to connect devices, but haven't yet experienced any problems with them that need me to find a fix.

you may have to reinstall the driver

What I have just read is that there is a bug in Vista with some phones which some are hoping that MS will do a patch for but there is a way of doing it your self. The thing is I can not find the way?

Vista is basically one great big bug with an operating system tagged on! The 'peripheral device' you need is a computer without Vista ;0)

I know I wish it did not have it but that Is what I have to use Now

sure it's not the phone? my old nokia 6320 used to communicate perfectly with my mac, but my new nokia just keeps dropping the connection and won't synch with the address book.

We're all in the same boat mate. Can't wait until Microsoft get their comeupence.
