| | No "Bluetooth Devices" in Control Panel Hi, I plugged in my bluetooth USB adapter and the driver installed without a problem and now appears under Bluetooth Devices in Device Manager as "Kensington Bluetooth EDR Dongle", which is the correct driver. However, I do not have Bluetooth Devices in Hardware and Sound under Control Panel. Moreover, I do not have the file windows\system32\bthprops.cpl, which I read about in related posts. I have build 5472 upgraded from clean Beta 2, but also with clean Beta 2 I had the same problem. |

| | RE: No "Bluetooth Devices" in Control Panel I am experiencing the same problem, even in RC1. I have a IoGear GBU311 Bluetooth receiver; I plug it in (though the drivers didn't install automatically - I pointed it to the XP driver set and it installed with no aparrent issues). However I do not have the Bluetooth Control Panel. It is recognized as a Broadcom Bluetooth device in device manager.
