XP SP2 Doesnt Have BluetoothHi, I've just bought a bluetooth dongle, and installed the drivers for it,
and windows recognises it as a "bluetooth USB" device in device manager. The thing that perplexes me, is that windows does not seem to have any bluetooth capabilities. It says in windows help and support centre things to do with bluetooth, and it says go to the "bluetooth devices" section of control panel, but my windows doesnt have this. I find this really strange as in windows own help and support centre it has articles on bluetooth, and when i click on shortcuts that should take me to the bluetooth devices, the shortcut does nothing. i have tried to open bluetooth devices through the run box also (bthprops.cpl), and that does nothing as well. I have looked in services.msc, and there is no bluetooth service. I presume something is not installed on my pc, and all i want to do is to have windows bluetooth working. Please help, i have windows XP Pro, and my windows version is "Microsoft Windows Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 : Service Pack 2)", any help will be very appreciated, Kris Kris Rennison wrote:

And although I do have a file named bthprops.cpl, it doesn't do anything for me, either. btcpl.cpl is my Bluetooth control panel applet. How did you install the drivers, and did you get any error messages when you did so? There are well-known issues when installing BT devices that use Widcomm (Broadcom) software.
