Bluetooth Problem

Ok, so I just got the Dell BT Module 350 for my Inspiron 6000 and am trying to connect to my Axim x50.
 
I was able to set up Active Sync and am able to send files through that, but would like to be able to send a file without having to open up ActiveSync.
 
When I just use the bluetooth manager on my laptop and select "Send File" and then pick the file and my Axim, it goes to connect and then fails, giving me this message:
 
Cannot Complete Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard
   The file transfer was not successful
 
The file transfer failed because the receiving Bluetooth computer or device did not respond.
If you sent the file to another Windows XP computer, that computer must be running the Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard. If you sent the file to a Bluetooth device, make sure the OBEX File Push Profile is installed.
 
So is this an error because of my Axim or my laptop...either way I figure I can blame Dell....
 
 
 
Oh yea, and can somebody please tell me if there is anyway to disable BT without also disabling Wireless?  I refuse to believe this is not possible...

    you can disable BT by right clicking the BT icon in systray>disable radio.

    you can turn it back on the same way.

    Yea, I definitely do not have that option.  The BT icon I have in my sys tray says "Bluetooth Devices" when I hover my mouse over it, and gives me the same menu of options when I left or right click on it.  Those options are as follows:
     
    Add bluetooth Devices
    Show Bluetooth Devices
     
    Send a File
    Recieve a File
     
    Join A Personal Network
     
    Open Bluetooth Settings
     
    Remove Bluetooth Icon

    hmm, that's the driver that I'm using.

    for image capture I'm using print screen, paste the image into paint and then manipulate it to show only what's needed.

    if you only want an image of a single open window then use alt+print screen.

    Ok, well I did what I should have just done to begin with, and re-installed the driver.  So I get the Bluetooth Manager, but now it is completely hijacking my comp.  A process called TosObex is using the whole CPU to the point where nothing is working until I close it and exit out of Bluetooth Manager. 
     
    This is the driver I am using
     
    Thank you for your help, I really appreciate your responses.  I just hate having so much trouble getting something to work.
     
     
    PS- what program do you use for image capture (ie - to get that pic of your sys tray)....yes, sorry to be asking more questions, but there is a lot I do not know.

    Right, should have just realized that.
     
    Well in case anybody else comes across this problem I still wasn't able to figure out why it was happening, but as an easy solution you can just install the older BT Manager from here. 
     
    Thx for the suggestions.
