    I have a M4400 with a dual boot, XP Pro on the first partition and Vista Business on the second. I have 370 Bluetooth that works fine on Vista but not on XP.

    Under Bluetooth in XP device manager, it just shows Bluetooth Bus Enumerator. It does not show 370 Bluetooth Wireless like it does in Vista device manager.

    I have the latest drivers and software, that I could find, installed on both XP and Vista.

    Any ideas?

    It seems that you have a broken driver or it hasn't installed correctly. I also have tha same configuration and it's been working perfectly since I installed it. I used this driver. Try removing the "Bluetooth Bus Enumerator" from the Device Manager and after that refresh the list and install the driver again. If it's not working from the installer, try reinstalling the driver by hand - from the Device Manager.
    Also, make sure the bluetooth device is not disabled in BIOS or the knob on the ride side (the one next to the DVD ROM). There's a possibility thath it is not activated from the application in the system tray. You should "Enable Bluetooth Radio".
    Basically these are the steps I recommend you try.
