Hey guys, I just recently reinstalled windows xp with sp2. the problem i have now is that there is no applet for bluetooth at all. In control panel, there is no mentioning of bluetooth nor is there anywhere else on my computer. I need bluetooth to isntall my intelliMouse and keyboard set. I have no idea why bluetooth isnt there.

 

edit...how did you get blue tooth on there in the first place? do that again? If it came from the store like that, look for an install cd?

 

You probably need a driver from either your PC manufacturer or whoever made the blue tooth adapter.

 

Sounds like a driver issue.

 

Product Documentation Download for M$

 

Install the software that came with your mouse and keyboard set. That will install the bluetooth onto your computer.

 

thanks for the help but i dont think its a problem with the drivers.

my keyboard is microsoft which means the bluetooth stack should already have drivers for it. The thing that I noticed was wierd was that I originally had a Bluetooth Configuration (or something like that) in my control panel where I could do all the settings for bluetooth devices such as turning on and off discovery, linking together stuff and other things. After a clean install of windows xp with service pack 2, i seem to be missing that bluetooth feature.

I dont have a great understanding of bluetooth itself but shouldnt it come with the service pack installed? I tried searching everywhere and not one place has an answer or lead that solves my problem. I think i will just reformat again.

EDIT: the software that came with mykeyboard and mouse comes with it and ive installed everything. my transciever isnt being recognized by the usb. that is the main problem. i had this problme back when i was using sp 1
