Windows 7 Bluetooth Configuration

Windows 7 Bluetooth Configuration I have Bluetooth installed in my laptop. The Bluetooth is enabled according to the status light. However, I do not see Bluetooth listed in device manager or have a control panel option for it. A scan for new hardware doesn't turn up Bluetooth. Nor are any devices listed with a Yellow Exclamation Point. I do have three USB Hubs Listed as "Generic USB Hub."

Do you see a bluetooth icon in your notification area? It would be in the "up arrow" section. The other place to look is in Start->Devices and Printers. This is where Bluetooth would show up if it were installed on Win7.

"On HP laptops, there's a Bluetooth toggle switch / indicator light, which looks like a broadcasting antenna.

It's located above the keyboard, next to sound controls. Press it to toggle Bluetooth on/off. Red light = Bluetooth off, and Blue light = Bluetooth on.

If it's off, Device Manager won't show any Bluetooth devices and you won't see the Bluetooth icon in the notification area."
