Well...I had given up. I wanted to watch TV at work, so I bought a Pinnacle
Systems PCTV HD Pro Stick. I installed the software for that...and I am in
business. Bluetooth works like a charm now...ridiculous.
Thanks for your efforts...stuff can be frustrating!

If I am in 'Safe Mode', clicking "show hidden devices" shows the Bluetooth
device. In normal mode, clicking "show hidden devices" doesn't show a
bluetooth device...
In control panel, no bluetooth choice exists...additionally, running
bthprops.cpl does nothing...

Thanks for the link. I actually already tried that site...unfortunately, I
don't even have the device listed under device manager (even though it is
built in! and functions in Vista!), and if I try the bthprops.cpl command, I
get nothing...it is like XP has just killed it...driving me crazy!
Thanks for the help, though!
Presumably have you in Device Manager, View, checked the Show Hidden
Devices, just to make sure no clues are there, as well is the Control Panel /
Add Hardware track tried, troubleshooting Hardware.
The Toshiba article:
http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/faq/bluetoothnotworking.html
- is apparently covering cases where devices ARE detected in the Device
Manager, however are there some tips "in between".

The reason why I referred to the Toshiba article is the information:
"The installation of this Bluetooth Stack on non Toshiba hardware may cause
installation problems. All Toshiba OEM Bluetooth Stack users should check
their Bluetooth hardware vendor website for an update. Ensure that just one
Bluetooth software (Stack) is installed. Remove all other 3rd party Bluetooth
Stacks. Always just install the Bluetooth software, which was delivered with
the Bluetooth hardware otherwise the Bluetooth adapter may not be detected!
Remove the Bluetooth Monitor software if it is installed. (It should only be
used if the MS-Stack should be active)"
- was as Windows XP includes a built-in Bluetooth stack with the Service
Pack 2, the missing Toshiba Bluetooth Stack not unlikely COULD be caused by a
conflict between the two kinds. Vista is apparantly different, accordingly to
the Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_stack
Not knowing how you did carry out the "restore back to XP", is it kind of
hard to be more specific with regard to an advice rather than say the aim
here have to be, given the culprit is the conflict, remove the conflicting
Bluetooth Stack not to be used and then install the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack
in accordance with the advices given by Toshiba.
I assume, when in Safe Mode, you in Device Manager, Bluetooth device checked
for any errors in the Conflicting Device list. Refer Microsoft article:
