Guest Lunaray Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 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

The PC needs to have a Bluetooth radio installed and "active."
