Vista - No bluetooth control panel

Re: No bluetooth control panel

I have Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop with Windows XP media center 2003, SP 2.
When I purchased the computer it had bluetooth connectivity, but I didn't own
any bluetooth devices and so I think I deleted the bluetooth program off of
my computer...
Questions:
1. What would the integrated bluetooth device be called? (in the Broadcom
control suite there is something called Broadcom 44OX 01/100 integrated
controller or Samsung MP0603H? Is that it?)
2. How can I reinstall the bluetooth suite in the control panel? (do I need
to just reinstall portions of XP or is it bundled with the Dell software? Is
there a patch online?)
3. Is there a shortcut on the keyboard to turn bluetooth reception on and
off? (There is a light-up icon by the on/off button. The light-up BT icon
is off. There is no obvious shortcut icon on any of the keys)

Answers to all or part of the issue would be appreciated.

Go to Dell's tech support website for your model laptop and download the
Bluetooth drivers. Install them. Look at your user manual (or at Dell's
website for the user manual) to see how to use Bluetooth.
