Did a search and could find an answer. I am trying to pair my Storm with my Vista laptop. Everytime I try to pair Vista wants to install some device drivers. I get 2 failed installs for Bluetooth Peripheral Device on my laptop. The bluetooth setting shows it's paired with the passkey enabled but I can not transfer files from the storm to the laptop. Any ideas? Thanks!

I just went through this a week ago so let me see if I can explain the procedure. First lets say you want to transfer a song. With the Storm open for your media, select music. Now use the BB button and you should see a menu item that says "receive using bluetooth", select this. Now go to your computer and right click on the bluetooth Icon by the clock. Select "send a file" and then browse to the song you want to send. This should work for you. Let me know if your still having problems and I will try to help more. Also I remember a thread explaining this someplace.
The same procedures can be used to send videos or documents etc.
Using 32bit. But got it to work. When pairing I had to check the "don't ask me again" checkbox. I didn't do this before because I didn't want the Storm to connect whenever I was in range of the laptop. It doesn't, it only connects when I transfer media.
Having read other threads I uninstalled the two periferals. They appear to relate to the two RIM virtual ports that are already installed. Anyway, everything is still working fine. I also updated my software and drivers for the bluetooth dongle here:
drivers.anycom.com - then /beta/usb200-250/widcomm-bluetooth-v6-2-0-6100-vista (sorry can't post URL yet)
This added PIM Item Transfer and Object push to my Storm Device properties.
Seems to work much faster with data transfers in both directions
