    im not sure if this is the right place to post this..

    Im having trouble with my Bluetooth device. It was working fine until i reformatted my laptop with XP pro SP2. Now the BT icon in the control panel and the "My bluetooth" folder is gone, no BT setup wizard either, i know i have the driver else the wireless connection won't work which it does. When press the wireless button it does turn on and appear blue, HP Wireless Assistant states that Bluetooth's status is on and the Bluetooth Devices(HP integrated moduble+BT2.0) does appear in the device manager, however, when i search for BT devices using my mobile phone there is no devices found? what's good with Bluetooth if it wont work! im not pc savvy, any help is greatly appreciated.
