    Hi, up until this morning my internal Dell Bluetooth card was working fine.

    for some reason i've switched it back on and nothin...device manager doesnt show the card

    ive tried installing the drivers but get an error...in my Device Manager it shows no Bluetooth, but under Device and Printers you can see my card.

    I've tried clicking bluetooth options to see if it was disabled but no menu shows up.

    any way i can force to turn it on or something.

    For anyone that has this problem i found that for some reason the Bluetooth Support service wasnt started,

    once i re-enabled this, the card works fine.
