Make sure your bluetooth settings on your computer are setup to allow bluetooth devices to connect  - Or that there arn't any settings that could be blocking incoming.
Make sure the Bluetooth remote software is open on your PC - it won't work unless thats open.

Apart from that no suggestions - had absolutly no problems this end.

Used it today, great, but one request... i'd love a short 'vibrate' when the keypress is registered, so you know that it is about to change slide

Hmmm seems not to work on mpx220. I've read a few posts that reflect what I get: when I do select server either my computer shows up and disappears after OK is pressed, or I simply get "done with 0 devices found". In any event - its impossible to connect even though the BT light on my PC is flashing indicating some data exchange.

Any ideas?

I am getting the same problem as this. Wondering whats widcomm stack, I notice on the home page it says it wont connect.

1 thing I highly recommend is using a fm broadcaster like itrip,  that way you can use listen to music on your stereo, while controling with your phone.

[ygeller]

Well. You've got a point. I checked and the driver used for my Thinkpad bluetooth card is Widcomm - which explains why it doesn't work...
Guess we're screwed?

:cry:

I've noticed that the program tends not to run too well with activesync running. always worth making sure that its not on before you try connecting

i tried a previous version of this and had lots of problems, yet this one installed and worked first time on my C500.

one of the best apps ive ever installed on my phone, now i can change songs, increas volume, etc, wherever i am in the house. Absolutly brilliant    

there is one suggestion id make, an option to turn on/off Shuttle within Winamp. Is this possible?

An excellent program. Is working a treat between my SPV E200 and Desktop running XP Pro SP2...

Did I say Thank You for this? No, I don't think so....

Thank You!

[JOhnnyboy]

Does this app work with Win 2000?

I have downloaded .NET and installed the CAB file etc.

My PC shows up when I Select Server, but nothing shows up in the main bit of the program. pressing all the bottons on the phone (c500) has no effect.

I'm using a  Linksys bluetooth dongle, any suggestions?
