You may need to reinstall the bluetooth - if you do not have the software, go into your add/remove programs and troubleshoot from there

tha infrared was disabled in setup; so the problem resolved; BUT the bluetooth still has problem .

I deleted the entry (that mentioned in microsoft site for SP2) in Registry and then Uninstalled the bluetooth(device manager) and reinstalled ; but the bluetooth device doesn't work!

do I need any CDs or drivers to use the bluetooth?(the seller didn't give me any CD)

I need bluetooth urgently!

OK - go to start, then see if the bluetooth is on the all programs menu. If so, there is a bluetooth settings and user guide on the tab. These should help you troubleshoot what is going on with the bluetooth.

Let me know if this fixes the problem - if not, will try something else!
