I have a BT Bluetooth dongle connected to my PC. This allows my mobile phone
to transfer images to the pc with no problem. However if I try to send images
from the PC to the phone - the pc cannot find the phone. The method I am
using is right clicking the image - send to - bluetooth file transfer wizzard
- browse. A message then comes up saying "Windows cannot find any bluetooth
devices make sure your bluetooth radio is connected etcI - the bluetooth
device is obviously connected and working as it is allowing images to be sent
from the phone. Any suggestions please?

BT has several modes of operation, so called profiles.
Make sure that sending files mode is enabled in the BT settings.
( if unsure, enable everything and later disable unneeded ones )
