Bluetooth Device Won't Start

I am using a VAIO VGN-SZ110 running XP SP2 (having already upgraded to Vista
and back down to XP SP2). I am unable to install drivers for my built-in
bluetooth device (trying the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack).

When I upgraded to Vista, BT worked fine, restored back to XP, now BT is not
listed in the control panel or device manager. When starting the computer,
the BT light is on, but it turns off as XP loads after I log in.

If I try and install the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, it gets to the driver, and
then repeatedly tells me to plug in my bluetooth device - it can't find it.
If I try and 'Add New Hardware', I get a "software for the device is now
installed, but it may not work correctly. (Code 10)" error.

Has anyone found a fix for this issue? I am out of ideas...thanks!

Perhaps you should try the non-Toshiba Bluetooth Utility:

Is your unknown XP Retail or OEM?

Did Bluetooth work correctly before the Vista upgrade? Did you
remember to do a full system backup before you upgraded to Vista? Did
any other install media originally ship with your notebook that would
cover this?
