Help Bluetooth Inconsistency

Hi, there are problems transferring files between my laptop and my phone. The symptoms I encountered are strange and I hope for a comprehensive explanation and solution to the problem

Background:
Computer Windows 7 64 Bit
Phone Android 4.0.3
Drivers are all up to date, using Windows Device Manager.
Both devices successfully paired.
Bluetooth is on.

I will describe the steps of my experience in sending and receiving below.

Sending file from computer to phone

Method 1
Right clicked "Bluetooth Devices" icon in system tray > Clicked on "Show Bluetooth Devices" > Right clicked on Bluetooth Device (my only Bluetooth Device) > Clicked "Control" > Clicked "Send files to phone" > Clicked "Browse Files..." > Chose my file > Clicked "Send" > Sending Dialog popped up > On my phone, was asked to authenticate, clicked yes > Sending complete.

In the above steps, sending is SUCCESSFUL.

Method 2
Right clicked on the exact same file I successfully sent above > Click "Send to > Bluetooth" > Bluetooth Send Wizard pops up > Clicked "Next" > Selected Bluetooth Device > Clicked "OK" > Displayed Error
 
Not sure why you want to send via bluetooth.
I take it a USB cable is not an option, so have you thought about using Kies Air (over wifi)

By the way, with a user name like yours mate, its a good job your problem wasn't because you suddenly couldn't find any of your porn!
:D
 
Haha, well I don't download that stuff ;)

Anyway, I was just trying to connect with my PC with Unified Remote, but it always says bluetooth connection failed. That's when I look into the bluetooth and discovered this discrepancy. I hope that by understanding the cause of this issue, I can do some fix on the bluetooth and be able to use Unified Remote. Thanks!
