   What CD?  "Bluetooth by hp" is a bit suspecious.  You should have a =
category named "Bluetooth Radios" with your laptop radio as one
child = and a Windows device as another.  What I would question is whether
you = installed only the device driver or did you install hp bluetooth =
software as well?  Some vendors, including my laptop vendor, have their =
own software that replaces the Windows software.  I had to remove it so =
use the Windows software that I wanted.
