> I have been having similar problems out of my ppc and laptop. The funny thing is that before I installed Vista I was able to connect via usb but not bluetooth. I've tried to download and install the programs listed with no success. I finally just went into the bluetooth app on the laptop and created a partnership with the phone and let Vista do everything. Once Vista was done and generated a key for me to plug into the ppc, a bluetooth modem connection was created for me. Now, when I connect I don't run any applications on the ppc. I enable bluetooth and then go to "Connect to a network" in Vista, select the bluetooth dial-up connection, enter the required info (name and password), and hit 'dial'. The connection via bluetooth is a bit slow for my liking, but it is working. I would still prefer to connect via USB (at least under XP I found the connection speed to much better). If anyone comes across a way to enable the USB connection in Vista please let me know. Thanks.

That's funny, because my vanilla Windows XP has more or less the exact
behavior. Flaky or no USB connectivity, and snappy, reliable BT. You
can guess which one I use regularly.
