Hi all,
Have done a quick search but couldn't find anything. I am running xp sp2 on my laptop, have tried to use bluetooth to find my phone for example, but when i do I get this message,

Windows cannot find any Bluetooth devices. Make sure that your Bluetooth radio is attached to your computer and is turned on, and that your Bluetooth device is turned on.

Any ideas?? I am positive the b/t on the phone is turned on. Don't know what else to do.

You have to have a bluetooth usb dongle! Thats what the bluetooth radio is. Here's a cheap one.

OK, thanks. I had an inclination that's what I needed, but was hoping maybe I didn't need one. I thought it was all in the laptop. thanks for your help.
