Guest Cleve S. Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Re: No "Bluetooth Devices" icon under Control Panel You'll need SP2 and a dongle that is supported by the Microsoft drivers. I just went thru this myself. Bought a bluetooth 2 device, had to install the included drivers, couldn't get ActiveSync 4.5 to work, no Control Panel icon. Bought a D-Link DBT-120 dongle. Plugged it in, XP SP2 recognized it, & I got the Bluetooth icon in Control Panel.

Guest Bob Woolf ogwoolf@gmail.com Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Re: No "Bluetooth Devices" icon under Control Panel I have the same problem but worse. I have no Bluetooth Icon in the Control Panel and no Bluetooth listing in the device manager. I have a Logitech dongle/hub and XP SP2, or so it says, but nothing I've tried has gotten an Bluetooth Icon in the Control Panel. I even tried the "scan for hardware changes" in Device Manger and nothing. MY wireless keyboard and mice all work, but without the Bluetooth Icon or Add Bluetooth Printer button in Printers & Fax I can't get the printer to hook up. Why is the Icon missing from the Control Panel and the listing from the Device Manager? Do I have the wrong version of Windows?
