Problems setting up bluetooth on laptopI have been trying to get bluetooth set up on my laptop (came pre-installed) since I got it last year. Yesterday I got a new mobile (windows mobile) with bluetooth so i installed activesnyc had again had no luck finding the device. After checking the help (which actually did help for a change, lol), i followed the instructions and set the computer to discoverable and added a comm port. Now at least i have two error messages to work with! (progress). The bluetooth radio is not currently plugged in (when adding comm port) and error occured while saving your settings: settings not saved discoverability settings connection settings There is also nothing in the devices and hardware tabs, is this normal? Or does it mean i'm missing some vital bluetooth hardware? *gulp and sigh* Thanks for any help Doo x On 3 Nov 2006 15:47:14 -0800, Doo0592 wrote:

Check your laptop manufacturer's documentation. Ah, now I remember! I have a memory like a fish these days! I'd missed
