thanks. i will ask them. thought i would see if i could get answer here first they take around 3 days to reply to each e-mail!
i had to download, save then install drivers, it installed then as it would if i was running the cd.

You should install them by right clicking on the setup file and choosing 'Run as Administrator'.

ok thanks, i have e-mailed belkin again and asked if the bluetooth is compatable with 64 bit.
so do you suggest i uninstall and try again.

takethis, thanks very much, i have right clicked on bluetooth file transfer and ran as administrator, it allows me to send a file, i have to keep going back to click on file transfer each time to send an other, but at least it can be done.
phew.... i was losing the will to live lol.

What about the Driver? Did it install?

cant work out how to run it as administrator,i saved download to desktop but when i open the folder it doesnt let me start the install process . do i need to uninstall existing drivers first? i am just relieved for now, i have been able to send photos to laptop. thanks
