Bluetooth Problems

Hi All,
Have bluetooth problems on win 7 64 laptop.
I cannot detect any bluetooth devices.
I installed BluetoothView to double check and it finds no devices despite having several nearby.
I was getting an error in device manager about bluetooth peripheral device. Solved that by following this http://www.sevenforums.com/341277-post14.html
I've re-installed bluetooth drivers, rolled back to older drivers. Changed bluetooth service settings (eg automatic start, logon to local desktop). Removed everythign altogether and started again!
I then purchased a USB Bluetooth Dongle and disabled the intergrated Bluetooth. It took a while to get it to install correctly, but eventually it was installed successfully. I then tried to connect a Bluetooth mouse, but nothing was found.
I then tested the same USB Bluetooth Dongle on another PC (similar spec) and the dongle drivers installed instantly then the bluetooth mouse was found instantly.
I'm not sure what else it could be! My only option would be to perform recovery, but whilst I can easily backup my docs, its software thats an issue.
Thanks for your help!

Can't help, but my Win7 64-bit desktop, is exactly the same. Gave up.
The dongle works fine on XP.Move along, nothing to see.0 -
I have a Win 7 64-bit laptop. I installed a bluetooth dongle just fine, and connected with my phone. I simple cannot get them to exchange data! I gave up after much fiddling and bought a very cheap data cable.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0

Seems to be a common problem. Very odd though - the 99p bluetooth dongle worked fine in one win 7 64 bit machine, nothing whatsoever in the other.0
