can't establish Bluetooth connection to my mobile device
Hi!
I'm using Vista Home Premium with an internal Broadcom Bluetooth device. When I'm trying to send a file to my mobile phone, the phone can be found, I am asked to set a key for the transmission (on Windows), but then nothing happens, and I get the error message "The process can't be executed because the user is not authenticated" (Maybe it's not really that message in English, I translated it from German) within the file transfer wizzard. I already tried to reinstall the device drivers, but the problem's still the same. I know they are (were) few problems with Bluetooth and Vista. Do you have any idea how to solve that problem? Thank you in advance! |

Sorry if this is a silly question, but
Are you entering the code on the phone when asked so as to "partner" the device? Even after that you may have to explicitly agree each transfer on the phone (unless you set it to "auto / don't ask) Not knowing what phone you have, are there any other settings that your phone needs to accept the connection / transfer? Another try is to look on the manufacturers website for updated drivers (I had to do this for Belkin) Are you trying to use proprietary phone software? NokiaPC is very fllaky and unstable on my Vista ultimate x64 (I quite happily use Vista built in file transfers) I know the above is all very trivial, but its often the obvious that we overlook.

can't establish Bluetooth connection to my mobile device
My phone is the SonyEricsson P990i. It worked great with WinXP.
I'm not even asked to enter the code on my phone. It's the same problem with the (Vista compatible) Software from Sony Ericsson. The phone is found, I am asked to specify a code and then .. nothing happens! After a few moments an error message is shown that the connection has failed. There are no special settings on the phone for that. File transfers are allowed, and before a transfer I am asked to confirm the transfer and to choose a location.

Hi!
I already did that. First I tried to update the drivers, then (after I didn't work) I completely removed them and installed the newest version. This afernoon I installed XP on a second partition. It worked without any problem, so it is definitly a software problem... "Dominic Payer" wrote: Try updating your Bluetooth drivers from http://www.broadcom.com/products/bluetooth_update.php |

When asked to set a key, don't. Then it should pair since the phone does not
have a key either ( I am assuming) "Willi" wrote in message ... Hi! I'm using Vista Home Premium with an internal Broadcom Bluetooth device.

My phone pops up the key dialog even if no key is set and that dialog doesn't
accept empty values When using XP I'm asked to set a key in Windows and then have to reenter it on my phone. Then they are pairing. "John" wrote: When asked to set a key, don't. Then it should pair since the phone does not have a key either ( I am assuming) |
