Bluetooth pairing problem

Up till last night I had bluetooth syncing and internet passthrough working like a charm (using the CoolSmartphone guides). That was until Windows XP repeatedly started installing my Belkin bluetooth drivers, even when I pressed cancel to the installation prompt.

I download the lastest drivers from their site and got to work installing them. Everything went well until I tried to pair the device. The PC found my E200 and connected to it. My E200 responded by asking me for a pin number, which I entered correctly, at which stage the green connection light, on the dongle, went out. A red tick appeared in My Bluetooth Places on the E200 icon (and the right click pair option changed to unpair) but my poor E200 reported that the pairing had failed, and even decided to faint (freeze up) on a few occations. Uninstalling, reinstalling and restarting lead to brick walls.

How annoying is that, especially as it was working perfectly before? :) Any ideas?

I think my hair's beginning to block the PC fan :wink:

Sorted it! :)

And just in time too (was almost at the caveman-beating-a-mobile-phone-to-death-with-a-stick stage). Tried to pair the phone with the PC, ie letting the phone search for the computer. It paired successfully and I'm go in all areas.
