    Hi everyone

    i got this new Laptop today :D

    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/e...02-3768356-3816519.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_UKEN

    when i click on the wireless icon on the bottom right of my screen, it says WLAN is ON, but Bluetooth is Disabled
    it says to turn it on i must do the following

    "this device has been disabled in windows device manager, to enable this device, use windows device manager"

    i went to the above devide manager, but cant find where the Bluetooth is!!
    i dont have any idea how to enable it, how do i turn it on? :confused:
    has my new Laptop actually got Bluetooth installed so that i can send pictures from my Nokia Mobile Phone? :eek:

    any help would be great

    many thanks

    Yes they often add the software for bluetooth even if it doesnt have the BT module installed.
