Yes, luckily I started getting a reply or two over there. My problem persists though. I'm not running any special mobile phone software that should be interfering. The two programs that run are a bluetooth connectivity monitor (waits for bluetooth devices) and a sony ericsson synchronization monitor (waits for infrared devices).

Neither program has any settings or anything, so it's a bit confusing. Perhaps I should ask sony ericsson support about this, but their support, for lack of a better word, sucks.

Thanks for your help,
Dominic
