I installed a Bluetooth dongle in my new Vista PC. It seems to work fine, and it managed to detect my XP Bluetooth-enabled laptop. However, the laptop cannot connect to the PC - it says

"Unable to detect service"

when I try to connect from XP to Vista. When I try and send a file from the PC to the laptop, I get this error:

"An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used."

What's going on?
 
i gave up with microsoft bluetooth drivers, using widcomm drivers, not sure if they can be used on xp sp2 or vista,
