Missing Bluetooth Support

[Guest Lunaray]

I'm running XP Home edition w/SP2 and according to what I've read, I should

have a Bluetooth icon in my Control Panel, nor do I have any native Windows

drivers installed for Bluetooth, absolutely nothing on my computer related

to Bluetooth. I found an article on Microsoft's website that tells me how

to add a Bluetooth entry in the registry, if you're missing the icon in the

Control Panel, but it didn't work! (article #911894).

 

How can I add the missing Bluetooth support to my computer?

 

Thanks,

Ray

Go to the OEM site. Here's one for HP machines:

The only problem is that not all PCs or models come with Bluetooth

built into it. The PC needs to have a Bluetooth radio installed and

"active."
