Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

You'll have to be more-specific. You've told us nothing: not what device

you're using, not what you mean by "suppressed", not whether the Bluetooth

hardware is built-into the device or added via USB or Compact Flash or SDIO,

etc.

How did you suppressed it? Does it show up in Device Manager?

Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

Sorry. I wanted to keep it short because people don't have much time for

reading long posts.

I am running Win XP Pro SP2.

I am having problems with a USB Bluetooth device: UGX? I went in the device

manager and made appear the hidden devices (KB 315539) and, as the Bluetooth

radio was greyish, I thought that I could suppress it. I deleted it and now

NO Bluetooth radio appear anymore in the device manager. I can't

communicate anymore with my PPC using Bluetooth. I can't add a Bluetooth

device anymore etc... This USB Bluetooth device that keeps giving me

problem is still around and it prevents my WiFi to find any network. First

I need to reinstall the Bluetooth radio that I suppressed by mistake and

then I'll have to tackle the problem of this malfunctioning USB Bluetooth

device which prevents my WiFi for working.

Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

So you need to perform an 'add new hardware' operation, it sounds like. Try

just unplugging the Bluetooth USB stick and then plugging it back in. The

Device Manager should ask you if you want to install the driver for it. You

do.

If that doesn't work, consult with the documentation for the device and see

if there isn't a driver that you're supposed to install before plugging the

device in.

Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

Paul, you saved my day. I don't know how to thank you. First I thought

that I didn't have any Bluetooth USB stick anywhere but I remembered that I

had, at the bottom of a drawer, an old Bluetooth Headset that came with a

stick. I plugged the stick in and it did the trick. It reinstalled my

Bluetooth radio, I recreated all the Bluetooth relationships and now PPC and

laptop communicate again.

I hope that you can help me with my WiFi problem now. I thought that WiFi

stopped working because it came in conflict with this Bluetooth USB device

malfunctioning (UGX?) but now that I reinstalled everything I still don't

have WiFi. I tried to repair but no way.

No it did not after I had suppressed it but I just reinstalled it. So this

is fine except that I still don't have WiFi working.

Once again, you need to provide more information, this time about your

wifi adapter. If your wifi adapter is built-in to your computer, it may

simply be turned off. As MVP Jack, the author of the following says,

Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

My laptop is WiFi enabled. It is a Sony Vaio T VGN-T270P. Yesterday I

couldn't see any wireless networks in the window. Today I disabled the WiFi

connection and reenabled it and now I can see all the networks but still the

computer refuses to connect. I examined the link

http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html you kindly provided and my problem starts

here: http://www.ezlan.net/example/tcp-ip.jpg. The properties of Client for

Microsoft network don't look like this but I just see RPC services with Name

service provider. In the device manager, Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG

Network Connection was crossed but disabling and re-enabling has made it

available again, this is why I can see the networks, I think, but 1394 Net

Adapter is still crossed and I don't know what it is. Perhaps it is why I

can't connect but after the damage I did yesterday by suppressing the

Bluetooth radio in my device manager, I don't dare doing anything there now.

Several other laptops have a switch (physcally on the laptop, Fn key

combo or in the BIOS) which turns off WiFi radio and Bluetooth radio.

The reason the Bluetooth radio wa greyed out is that Windows XP is not

finding the radio "connected" to your laptop.

Mine (Sony Vaio T VGN-T270P) has none but I disabled WiFi in the control

panel and re-enabled it and now the networks all appear on the window but

still my computer refuses to connect to mine.

Right now there is no radio connected to my laptop and Bluetooth radio is

not greyed.

I still have this nagging message that a USB Bluetooth device is

malfunctioning.

Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

You don't need 1394. That's "Firewire" and you've already said that you

have a separate WiFi adapter.

If you can see any networks, there's nothing wrong with the driver

configuration for the WiFi adapter. If you can't connect, you haven't

entered the right WEP keys, user name and password, or something of that

sort to connect to the indicated network.

Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

I never said that I had a separate WiFi adapter. You must have gotten me

mixed up with another thread. My laptop is WiFi enabled. Yes, the key,

username and passwords are correct. I have always connected to my router

with them and anyway I am not asked to enter them again, the computer tries

to connect and gives up after a while.

Actually now that you say so, I do have an old Wireless PC Card at the

bottom of my drawer. I just tried it and it works. I can get WiFi with the

PC Card but NOT without.

Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

No, I'm not mixed up, about that at least. You enabled the Intel 2200BG

adapter. That's separate and distinct from any 1394 thing and you don't

need 1394; you have the other.

It's possible that you have MAC address filtering set on your access point

and the old card is listed and the Intel 2200BG is not. It's also possible

that the configuration which the computer is trying to use is wrong. Delete

it from the list of preferred SSID values and try to connect to it, again.

It should prompt you to enter the right information.

Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

Hmmm. I don't have that feeling at all. I mean, if your whole device

registry is screwed up, *anything* is possible, but removing my Bluetooth

dongle from my laptop has *zero* effect on WiFi. When the dongle is

removed, it's quite possible to get a warning, as the driver is trying to

load and create virtual serial ports for Bluetooth communications, etc., but

WiFi doesn't require Bluetooth or vice versa (and, other than some potential

radio frequency interference between the two, they're about as unrelated as

any two pieces of hardware that the computer might have). I think that you

should concentrate on the high-probability problems before concluding that

it's something like that.

What USb device do you have connected onto the laptop? Built-in

Bluetooth do not normally use a USB port.

Bluetooth does not connect to / use WiFi since WiFi is Wireless

Ethernet neowkring (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n.)

Re: How to reinstall bluetooth radio?

Paul YOU ARE A GENIUS

I deleted my network from the preferred ones and re-entered the key and I am

now connected with WiFi. I am so happy.

Now I must look after this nagging message about the ghost mafunctioning

device. The constant ding-dong of connecting-disconnecting USB device was

driving me crazy, I had to stop the sound. I think that it could be

connected to a MS Activesync problem because each time I start my computer

Activesync asks me to reconnect my PPC.
