Bluetooth Devices not showing up in Control Panel - no Bluetooth related services either

See if you have bluetooth driver installed in Control Panel > Device Manager, check that bluetooth exists at all and if it does check if there's no ? (question mark) on the icon
In any case, right click on the bluetooth device and click Update Driver. Then reboot.

If it doesn't help, uninstall all bluetooth drivers via Control Panel > Add remove Programs
Then in Device Manager remove the bluetooth device. Reboot. See if the device exists in the control panel. Check the bluetooth switch on the laptop itself (if it exists).
Then go to Start > Run > type sfc /scannow to check if no services or system files are corrupted
Only then reinstall all the latest bluetooth drivers and utilities from the fujitsu website (not the CD!)

Hope this helps

Unfortunately no.  There were no drivers present before today as they hadn't been added since we reinstalled xp a few months ago.  I haven't had any other problems.  If you go to the fujitsu sight, you'll see that there is no bluetooth drivers downloadable from there and even after talking with fujitsu help chat...they said I would have to use the driver disk as there are none downloadable for xp at all...only Vista.  I may try the system file checker tomorrow to see if by chance any problems but I'm thinking that's not it.  Thanks so much for attempting to help...any other thoughts?

If there are no specific bluetooth drivers it means that windows xp drivers should work. Try following the steps above for removing/redetecting the device and see if it helps and if it is recognized at all in the device manager

Yes, as I said there were no drivers installed and the item was shown as unknown prior to yesterday.  I installed the drivers from the disk.  The problem I'm having is not the driver I believe...but the fact that Control Panel is not showing Bluetooth devices and there is not a Bluetooth service.  The bluetooth is able to be setup and I can pair it with his pda...I just can't follow the directions to setup a com port because I am told to go to the Bluetooth devices in Control Panel and configure a COM port, but I can't because that doesn't exist.

Thanks again for your assistance!

I have upped the points on this question.  Would love to get more feedback if possible.  Thanks

See if you can do Start > Run > bthprops.cpl

The regedit in the first link provided by Cybrexus should solve this issue nicely.

http://thinkabdul.com/2006/10/12/tutorial-configure-activesync-via-bluetooth-with-toshiba-bluetooth-stack/

The above link shows the step by step setup instructions to configure a com port.  I am still working on this...just want to document info

on it.  
PUNKY: I performed the regedit (it was in MY original post...not cybrexus's) and it didnt work...that was a part of my original attempts to

fix.  
Cybrexus: thanks for sticking with me on this one.  I think we are getting closer.  I did the steps provided by

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=840635 (method 1) and that did not fix the problem.  
Another problem is that the com port setup page shown as attached is part of the problem.  It's not there!  The COM port setup page and

options are all similar as described by the link at the top of this post.  The options are different.  So anything that step by steps it

through this doesn't help since it's not the same configuration.  I believe this is due to the "Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba" that

is installed as the bluetooth drivers are.  It is apparenlty different than the one included with XP inherantly.

I went HERE: http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download
to download the newer version of the Toshiba Bluetooth stack for Windows.

After hours of this...I'm about to give up...so is the client.  I get him on his T-Mobile Dash to try to activesync over bluetooth (both configured to use com7) and the phone still says "Cannot find bluetooth partnership".

Any other options or ideas?  I'm officially out.

If that BT device is built-in system, you might try disable it or remove, and buy a cheap USB BT to test out. It is about few bucks and you have spent a lot of time on it.

This link you provided: http://sandyvalley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!AB1484B25F28E501!619.entry
Seemed like a sure thing.  As it described, when you pair the phone to the computer, you are not given an option to pair activesync, only wireless radio and serial port.  I went to the registry key provided to change to COM7, but it was already set to that.  

The other link doesn't seem to relate to this problem as Activesync works fine when connected via USB.  I spoke to the customer about switching to an external bluetooth and we may go that route.  Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks again for your help guys!  I think it's an incompatibility between the Windows Mobile 6 and the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack.  I will let it go at this point and may try the external bluetooth...though that's not really a solution.  Thanks again!
