PC not recognizing bluetooth on TX

Question

Everything else is working geat on my new TX. Bluetooth hotsync is perfect. WiFi surfing and email are flawless (Thanks LPE). I can send individual files to my PC via Bluetooth. However, I can no longer send individual files via Bluetooth from my PC to my TX. I recieve a window message stating, "Service Bluetooth Serial Port is not found on device (my Palm TX name here)".
I fear that during my confused state in original connection setup attempts, I may have accidently deleted a connection option or changed the name. Whatever the problem, how can I get this option installed back into my TX as there are times I would like to just send individual files without conducting a full hotsync action?

Here's my helpfile on Wifi HotSync.  I would strongly suggest setting Static IP's for both your PC and TX in your router.  Makes connections more reliable and faster!
Wifi HotSync with a TX
1. On your PC, locate the HotSync Manager (little HotSync icon in the lower right tool tray on a Winbox). Click on it and check off "Network", then click again and select Setup.
2. Pick the Network tab up top in the window that opens, and find your HotSync name in the list.  Make sure it's checked.
3. Tap the TCP/IP button, and look at the IP address listed for "Primary PC Address". Write it down.
4. Turn on Wifi on your Palm and connect to your router.
5. On your Palm, select the HotSync program and tap the word "Network" above the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen.  Below it, enter the IP address you wrote down in step 3. (Include the periods!).  NOTE: If you don't see the "Select PC" entry under the button, open your pull-down menu and tap "Modem Sync Prefs".  Change it to "Network".
6. Tap the big HotSync icon above the IP address, and hold on!  Your PC should sound the HotSync signal and begin a very rapid HotSync! 
7. If you're holding on, and nothing happens try a wired HotSync, then try the Wifi HotSync again.  Sometimes, information has to transfer from your PC after you check off the Network option.  Also, be sure to watch for any Firewall activity asking you about "HotSync.exe is trying to access your hard drive" etc.  You may need to set a rule to allow it.
