Hey,
ummm... im having trouble installing a bluetooth dongler on to my laptop... I trid it on my dads desktop, and it works fine, but when i try it on my obselete hunk-a-junk, it doesnt work...
i need the bluetooth to connect my camera phone (sony ericsson) to it so i can upload pics from it... but it doesnt work...
the installl file runs ok... then it comes up with a box saying that it doesnt have a windos approval thing.. (same thing happened on my dads, but it worked fine) so i clicked continue, and it installs fine... then i restart the laptop and try and run the "my bluetooth places" and it comes up with a box saying "configure bluetooth" where it sks me to name my computer, and tell it it was a laptop... click next and after ten mins, another box comes up, i press next and it freezes... i restart the computer, and try again... nothing...
can any one help me?

Ok, well try getting the SE ones first. Download all the software you can - other than the theme makers etc (unless you wnt them) and install it.
What was the error on those drivers? Could you just not download them? I would try getting them if I were you.

Ok, Norton will stop almost anything that does anything usful. You can authorize it and it'll be fine.
I think you'll need to get on the real non-proxied non-firewalled internet and do some proper downloading. Do you have broadband at home?
Also, try turning off norton and trying again

I'm in Norfolk, but I'm thinking about coming down to London in a few weeks - can't go to the clapham meet, but maybe another one? I might just go to oddballs as we don't have a good juggling shop about here at all.
