    For some reason I no longer have the Bluetooth icon for Bluetooth manager in my system tray. I still have the program in my Startup folder. And the bluetooth mouse works okay even if the icon not there.

    If I manually start the program, the icon appears and stays there, and there are an additional 10 BT processes running.

    I am concerned because I am geting some explorer crashes and sometimes it reports problem with tosbtsrv.dll when this manager is not running. Why will it not auto-start??

    I assume you have already tried to reinstall the Bluetooth manager software?

    You may want to check your services list for any services related to the Bluetooth manager and make sure they are set to an automatic start (start -> run -> "services.msc")
