Welcome to Club Vaio sheds.

It may be that you need to turn on the Bluetooth functionality.
Right-click on the Wireless icon in the taskbar and select 'show main dialog'.
The Switch wireless devices dialog appears. Select Bluetooth¿ and click OK.

Ans especially make sure that your physical switch on the front side of your computer is turned on.

You should then get the switcher program that enables you to choose the following options
- wireless enabled
- bluetooth enabled
- wireless and bluetooth enabled

This guides speaks about connection with Clie and about the program bluespace
- Clie is end of life
- bluespace is no longer supplied after MS released service pack 2

so there is no bluespace supplied on this computer

Thank you for the good advice. It worked fine and I now have bluetooth. I wish I could have found this in my documentation!

I am pleased that it is now working, sheds. Your on-line user manual does give scant details of Bluetooth connectivity and if you have not had a look as yet you may find other useful tips there.
