Bluetooth
I am running WinXP with Service Pack 2 installed. I have
purchased a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer Bluetooth. I have the transceiver plugged into a powered USB port (the blue light on the transceiver is on), however, I have no icons anywhere for Bluetooth...not on the control panel, desktop...anywhere. I have read numerous articles about how to troubleshoot this...the problem is they all involve steps that require going into the bluetooth settings under control panel. Bluetooth support seems to be missing completely from my install of xp. Any ideas would be most appreciated. |

Bluetooth
Did the mouse come with software? Rather than lettings
windows use it's drivers, use the software disk. I have read in some forums there are recommendations to actually unplug all plug and play devices such as USB printers web cams keyboards and mice when installing SP2. -----Original Message----- I am running WinXP with Service Pack 2 installed.

Bluetooth
It did come with an installation disk...but it wasn't
compatible with SP2...so I downloaded the latest intellimouse software from microsoft and it works fine. During the setup it says the mouse will not work until configured from withing the Bluetooth Devices section of Control Panel...problem is I don't have a Bluetooth Devices icon to open...also it says to manually run bthprops.cpl which should open the same screen...when I run it it does nothing. I also noticed that when I plugged the transceiver in USB it does not get recognized at all...I know the port works since I unplugged another device from that usb slot which was working fine. -----Original Message----- Did the mouse come with software?

Bluetooth
Does the mouse show up in the device manager? Does your system support USB
2.0 or just 1.1? Is the mouse defective? Try plugging it in to a different computer. Sorry I can't help much here, but I have no use for Bluetooth. wrote in message ...

Hello Shawn,
Try running hardware detection. The system is not detecting the transcevier that is plugged into the USB hub. Since the Bluetooth Transciever is not detected Bluetooth is not installed, so the icons do not appear. Have you tried plugging in the Bluetooth Transceivor directly into a USB connection? When you do so, do you get notification that new hardware is detected? You should see notification that new hardware is found.

Bluetooth
I am in the exact same boat. Several devices are appearing correctly in the
device manager, and I see that bthprops.cpl is listed as a resource for the "Microsoft Wireless Tranceiver for Bluetooth" device, yet it won't run when executed via the Run command, and it doesn't appear in the control panel. I have the following devices listed and apparently instaled correctly: Microsoft Wireless Tranceiver for Bluetooth (5.1.2600.2180) Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator (5.1.2600.2180) Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) (5.1.2535.0) Bluetooth Device (PFCOMM Protocol TDI) (5.1.2600.2180) Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

Bluetooth
figured it out. I previously had a wireless multimedia keyboard and mouse
combo. I had the most recent intellitype and mouse software, and assumed I could just unplug the old gear and plug in the new bluetooth stuff. Seems that windows was confused over just what it should be doing. I stumbled onto this by removing all the registry keys listed in the following kb article, and noticing there were keys for the old wireless keyboard. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;811805 Hope this helps someone, Trevor "Trevor Baker" wrote in message ...
