WMP11 & N73 sync problem

I can't get WMP11 to recognise my N73 for sync anymore.
I have downloaded the .inf file for WMP10 (couldn't find one for
WMP11) and installed it, but it didn't seem to do anything and didn't
fix the problem. WMP11 used to sync the N73 OK but I think it stopped
after I did an O/S upgrade - not sure if that was a factor though.
Upgrading the N73 O/S to the latest V4 hasn't helped either (although
I like the new music player).

My other sync programs (PC Suite programmes, MobiPocket Reader) all
recognise and transfer music/eBooks etc to the N73 OK, whether on
bluetooth or USB. To get music into the N73 I can use the PCSuite
Transfer Music program (the new V2 is much better but is still a bit
buggy and fails every so often) but it's a pain compared to using WMP.

I've tried re-installing WPM11 with no success re the N73 - WPM11 does
recognise other memory cards (a compact flash and an SD) I have
plugged in, and it's sync function does work on them.

I'm running WinXP with all the latest updates.

Anyone have any idea what I might be able to do to fix this?

TIA

If you have updated to the latest firmware (V4.0726.2.0.1), then this
will very likely be the problem. There seem to be a number of
connectivity bugs. Users of TomTom Navigator have found they cannot
establish a bluetooth connection from their N73 to their GPS device.
Nokia are aware of this but have said, since this only involves third
party applications, it's not their problem. I expect the problems will
be sorted out in a future firmware upgrade. However, this could be some
time: the last one was in June and they have given no indication when
the next one will be, if at all.
