I have a laptop with a built in widcomm bluetooth. I have been trying to use it to connect to my cell phone (motorolla v551) but it seems that the bluetooth isnt being recognized even though its built in. I have been able to update the drivers for "Bluetooth bus enumerator" under the manage devices tab, however whenever I try to use the bluetooth via my computer or control panel I get the error message: "bluetooth device not found. please verify that your bluetooth device is properly connected and turned on." Upon doing further research I came to the understanding that "generic bluetooth device" should be listed in the device manager, but it's not. Can anyone please enlighten me? I am using Widcomm driver v. 5.1.0.1700

Thanks

Is there an enable/disable option in the BIOS?
