Thanks for the prompt reply! I've been advised not to install SP2 as it has problems with firewalls, is there any way of setting bluetooth up with SP1?

Windows XP SP2 firewall works fine with both Microsoft and non-Microsoft Bluetoth.

Did you get Bluetooth software with your Bluetooth hardware? Use this one as first option.
