    Try going Start --> Run --> fsquirt

    This might force Windows to recognise the device (or it might not - it's a bit of a stab in the dark but it's all I can think of right now - sorry).

    You may have to physically unattach to BT module, reboot, reattach it, and maybe even reboot after that.
    The BT works off of the USB hub. If yours is set to shut down to conserve power, it might not "see" the BT.
    Try going into Device Manager and "Scan for new hardware" under "Actions".
    You should see a question mark for a 'seen' device that has no driver installed. (My experience is with XP.)
