So you have not assigned a comport. Do this:

1) Insert your dongle in the usb port.
2) Go to Control Panel then Bluetooth devices.
3) If you have paired your phone then your phone will be shown. Like this in my case its a k700.

4) Select the tab COM Ports.
5) Turn on bluetooth on your phone.
6) Click add and then select Outgoing(Computer initiates connection).
7) Click browse that will search for device that wants to use com port.
It will find your phone.
9) Click OK.
10) It will assign a comport to your phone.
When using MPE select that comport and enjoy.
If any probs inform me.

If step 7 doesnt work:

Instead of going to tab COM ports, select your device and click properties. Click Services. Check the Serial port check box and click apply. It will assign a COM port. When doing this your system will show found new hardware ballon saying serial port over bluetooth.

Do you have a bluetooth dongle or a cable?

Serial Cable: Check the label on the port you plugged the cable in. It should be marked Com 1 or Com 2, usually PCs dont have more then 2 COM ports, so chances are its either 1 or 2

USB Cable: Check in the device manager (Windows) which COM port is used for the serial port emulation. (Look under "ports")

Infrared: There is own applet in Control Panel for infrared. COM port used by IR is reported there. It is very often COM 2

BlueTooth: For this the above(above posts) steps work.

Yippie...

I got it working... I deleted the connection I already had in the BT menu on phone and PC, then re-connected the two using the PC connection wizard, and now it works

I found it worked only when I chose the passcode rather than an automatic one, dunno why!
