Bluetooth COntrol

Hi there, pround new owner of a sony TX5 - wonderful machine - running windows Vista. I also have a sony erricsson K800i mobile phone, which has a 'remote control' option on it. It would be nice to utilise this option for presentations or controlling media player if possible.
Does anyone know how to configure this as I've had a go but my TX5 only recognises the phone as a modem. Now I can't install the sony phone software on the laptop as it has vista, is this necessary or is there a way round it that I haven't found yet?
Many thanks for any help or suggestions,
I can be mailed directly at richard.bown@ntlworld.com

Hi Rich,

welcome to Club Vaio..

I'm not sure how to use the remote control' option but on the Sony Ericsson's site I have found this information .. Unfortunately I don't think the application is compatible with Vista yet..

The PC suite according to Sony is not currently compatible with Vista see below..

The Sony Ericsson PC Suite for the Microsoft® Windows Vista™ operating system is not yet available.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused. For information on when you will be able to download it, please see the link below.

Please note that dates are subject to change - check back to the page for updates.

Visit www.sonyericsson.com/vista for more information.
