    Hi all,

    I'm now using Toshiba M40, which has bluetooth module built-in. I don't have any problems for using it, but I find it difficult to "power off" it. Every time I click "Power OFF" in the bluetooth manager menu, the bluetooth will just shutdown for one second, and then it turns on again. The only way I can disable it now is to go to Device Manager and disable the device. I've tried both the bluetooth manager from Toshiba and Microsoft, both have the same problem. Can anybody gives me some hints on how to disable a bluetooth device in a "graceful" way? Thanks very much.
