Do I need to upgrade Android?

[#1]

When I go to Settings/About Phone then I see under Firmware that I have V1.6;  when I select Settings/About Phone/Software Update it tells me that it wants to update but that this can only be done via USB cable.  When I connect the USB cable on my (limited XP) user account, then the phone will not hook up with PC Companion (although XP sees the USB hardware and pops up a file browser on to the phone).  When I repeat the exercise on my (unlimited) admin account, PC Companion does find the phone but when I press Software Support (to update the phone software) it tells me that my phone does have the latest software. ------- WTF? ------- (1) What do I have to do so that PC Companion will work on a limited user account?  (2) Is f/w V1.6 equal to Android V2.1?  Do I need to upgrade?  How do I do it?  Thanks!

I'd try using Sony Ericsson Update Service instead of PC Companion on an unlimited account.

The other thing you can try is starting the PC up in safe mode (Press F8 repeatedly from a cold boot) and then select the with networking mode and try running SEUS then.
