Hi! I have a Compaq Presario X1010CA notebook with windows XP. It had
bluetooth installed and I used to use it to connect to my friend's notebook
and share files. It was a breeze. I hadn't used it for some time but now
wanted to download some pictures from my new Nokia phone when I discovered
that I have lost Bluetooth. Maybe it happened due to Service Pack 2, which I
have installed since I last used bluetooth, but now I'm in a fix.

My notebook does not recognise my new phone.

There is no "Bluetooth Devices" in my Control Panel.

There is no "Bluetooth Support" in the list when I run services.msc.

Nothing happens when I run "bthprops.cpl".

Heeeeelp!!
 
I had the same problem it has to do with drivers by default MS wants to load
the MS default drivers with my bluetooth device i had to force it to use the
drivers that came with the device and it worked.
 
rt click on my computer / click on properties / click on device manager / rt
click on ms bluetooth device goto properties / click on driver / click on
update / click on install from a list or specific location ( Advanced ) then
click on next / then select don't search , I will choose the driver to
install / then click on next and then select have disk ( Make sure the driver
disk from the manufacture is in the drive / then select browse and select
where the driver is at and then next and next to finish
 
Thanks but there is no "ms bluetooth device" in device manager!! no device
remotely like bluetooth is in the list. Any advice?
 
Thanks a lot, you are very helpful, but I swear I used to use bletooth to
share files with my friend's HP notebook. I HAVE used it!! I can't imagine
what has gone wrong with it...

Reagards.
 
Mike, I think you are right and my notebook doesnt have bluetooth. Maybe I
used infrared with my friend's computer and thought it was bluetooth!

Thanks for your help.
