I have just got a new IBM Thinkpad T42, and bluetooth was working fine out of the box, then It started causing errors and I had c++ errors comming up, as it was a new laptop i just did a factory restore and copied over the entire os etc again, unfortunatly it is still not working, it all looks fine in device manger, it is sending out a signal (my mobile finds it) but the bluetooth icon on taskbar, has a blue and red logo instead of a blue and white logo and when i right click itis all greyed out saying bluetoth device not found...

any ideas? any one no of good bluetooth diag software?

Many thanks
Andy
I was getting the dreaded red icon until I forced it to update to drivers from the manufacturer instead of using the default Windows drivers. If you are running XP and Sp2 installed at some point it could be that the SP2 drivers are over-riding the manufacturer drivers and causing the loss of communication.
