I have installed a windows 7 ultimate after uninstalling windows xp but now my blue tooth device is not working with my laptop it was working earllier with windows xp

It's good that you have the recovery cds. Do NOT reformat the hard drive. Restore with the cds so you'll have a clean install . You will need to have any software cds that did not come with the original pc in order for them to rebuild the registry entries. That is the easiest way because there won't be any left over files from Windows 7 after you restore to XP.

Remove all USB attached devices like drives. You may need to roll back system with System Restore. Under Safe Mode (press F8 during boot and choose Safe Mode). Win 7 - Start > Search type System Restore. XP - Is Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Restore. Now choose a date prior to problem. You may have to try a few dates. Uninstall last program(s) that was installed, again in safe mode. To eliminate possible bad RAM. Unplug PC, open case, and remove all RAM. Test one DIMM at time, one slot at a time. Re-install Windows. Clean install works best, but all data will be lost. Lastly you may have other hardware problems. If it does another blue screen after reloading windows, especially with a clean install.

You need to download the driver for your laptop for bluetooth,which support windows 7.

After installation restart the machine.

try to locate the bluetooth module manufacturer and then look on their website see if they offer win 7 drivers / support

Go into your devices manager and check to see if the drivers for your bluetooth are installed,you may have to install them yourself

goto start and type bluetooth in search...if bluetooth drivers are installed ull get some icons like bluetooth, bluetooth devices etc.....try clickin bluetooth devices.....n u can try to connect with ur mobile.....if it doesnt show anythin u may have to install bluetooth drivers....hope this helps...

be sure that you have windows xp sp2 for bluetooth to be working properly. and 1 more thing, have you tried uninstalling and re-installing it?

blue tooth sometimes have problems regarding with the drivers because windows xp have a built in bluetooth drivers, if your bluetooth mous3ee have its own drivers, i reckon the fault may lie there..

hi,
check if your device is enabled, you can do this by ---
right click my computer..-> properties--> hardware tab--> device manager --> right click on the blue tooth icon and clcik properties. --> check if enabled..

if it is enabled check if bluetooth is enabled at startup { type msconfig in RUN in start menu, click startup tab..check if it is enbaled in startup}... or else you have to manually switch on bluetooth each time u intend to use... hope it helps.

hope to get rated as helpful...
