Bluetooth Support Service Won't Start
The above service will not start. When an attempt is made to start it, it says that the service did not respond in a timely fashion. I've tried removing it and reinstalling with no joy.Windows XP SP3 looks to be the culprit EDIT: The user is utilising a Bluetooth Dongle. This works fine on other machines. The problem seems to be the service not starting. When the bluetooth network device is double-clicked, it says an unexpected error has occurred, contact your system administrator
