    All,

    I am a newbie to bluetoth (and to notebooks). I recently bought a XPSM140 with integrated bluetooth.

    Although I am unable to connect either to my phone or headset. The question that came to my mind how do I make sure that bluetooth is actually installed on my notebook.

    I can see the bluetooth manager (and all) but that might be just the software.

    Any suggestions \ advise is welcome.

    THanks

    If you are running XP / Properties of my Computer / Hardware Tab / Device Manager / You should see a BlueTooth Devices listed.

    As for being unable to connect to your phone - make sure the bluetooth is actuall on and check the drivers. You can always check out http://www.howardforums.com a phone forms and look for your make and model for suggestions.
