Default T41 Bluetooth problem, HELP!

Hello forum,
I have a T41 but I can not use its Bluetooth! I am not new to bluetooth system as I used many BT devices before but I can not make T41 working. I turn the BT on find the device but nothing else can be done. I installed latest ''My BT Place'' software but that one also shows a red sign and says no connection, bla bla bla.. Is there a point I miss? Can any T41 owner help me? [:I]

I had a similar problem with my T40. I downloaded the software from IBM at http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-50245, but it didn't seem to work. So I removed the IBM software to use the built-in MS software (with WinXP). To add a device, hit Control Panel, Wireless Link, and the Bluetooth tab.

When I did install the IBM software, I got the icon in the System Tray, but it was saying that it couldn't find the device. Now, with the built-in Windows software, I don't get a System Tray icon, but things work.

Anyway, I found the built-in Windows Help and the Access IBM help to be useful.

Good luck!

bigo - when you get to the Bluetooth tab there's no add device option?
