    I have XP on my Sony Vaio and the send to for bluetooth has disappeared. When I right click on a file I want to transfer bluetooth has been one of the options and know it is not there anymore. I have tried looking on the web for the send to info and have not been able to restore it. I tried a restore to an earlier point but it still is missing. Does anybody know how to restore it.

    I could not get at the bluetooth to reload unless I brought the comp back to factory spec. Sony sent a vista disk with this Xp downgrade system. I went to the Broadcamm site and downloaded the update. I tried this a few months ago and it would not load the software. It worked this time. The bluetooth send to is back. The newer version is a little trickier to deal with. When ever I use an ftp application from my hand held I then have to reboot the computer if I want to use the send to so it does not follow the preset ftp path. The widcomm 5.1.0.4800 was what I had before and it now has version 5.5.0.9500 on it.
