    Bluetooth errors
    I had bluetooth on my computer and used it fine a long time ago. But now I'm trying to use it again and its no where to be found! I tried doing Start>Run>bthprops.cpl

    But nothing pops up! Is there anyway to fix this? Thank you!

    Check the Device Manager and make sure the Bluetooth drivers are installed and active. Are there any yellow alert symbols?

    In the device manager I see

    Bluetooth Devices. Then when I click that, it 2 sub-menus are shown then: "BlueTooth Bus Enumerator" and "HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth 2.0 Wireless Technology"

    I may not be looking hard enough, but I don't see any alert symbols

    And just one more thing! There is no bluetooth icon in the notificatin area nor is it in the Control Panel!

    In the Control Panel, look in Keyboard and Other Peripherals. The Blue Tooth might be in there, switch it on.

    Okay, I looked every where and I did a search with the key words of bluetooth. When I click on some of things that popped up, they either said bluetooth license failed, nothing happened, or the a page did pop up, but it was like all messed up. I tried everything on that site last night. I discovered that tons of people have had this issue, however, none of them were helped over the internet, so there isn't any ways to solve this that I could find
