sync x30 by bluetooth on vista

[tsttm]

hi there, hope i'm posting in the right area.

my x30 DOES sync by bluetooth on my new laptop running vista premium, BUT there are a couple issues i'm hoping to iron out.

The problem is, it seems if i ever turn bluetooth off & back on again, the COM port assigned for the axim will not be an option in wmdc unless i do a reboot. The default options for the connection drop box in wmdc is COM3 & 'bluetooth'..& the axim is currently using COM14. (so COM14 would disappear as an option)

Is this normal?

Now, i'm happy that it does work..but it's kind of annoying that i cannot turn the bluetooth off if i don't need it all the time.. or if i ever accidentally turn bt off, i'm stuck doing a reboot.

I'm not sure if it's because the axim should be assigned to COM3..but i never got it on that port (& don't know how to make it that port). The very first time i got it paired & connected, it was assigned COM4 incoming & COM5 outgoing. But, i kept fiddling with it & trying to make it COM3, but each time it would assign a new incremental COM #..so now i'm at COM 12 outgoing & COM 14 incoming.

anyone can help? Is the axim suppose to be on COM3? if so, how do i re-assign it?

the other issue, is i have all these COM ports (4-11 & 13) that vista 'thinks' is assigned now..will that be a problem for anything? And is there a way to 'unassign' them.

Any help appreciated. thanks!

You don't have a serial/USB connector cable? Hmmm... I used to have a Vista OS that worked with my X30. That was before I got tired of Vista and switched back to XP.
