use system restore

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/systemrestore.mspx

to go back to a date whe it lasted works ?? or before you removed it

Browntoa

are you sure it was on the laptop before, this was an optional extra, not part of the standard off the shelf spec

click on "start" (bottom left of your screen)

then "control panel"

then "system"

then click on the "hardware" tab at the top

then the "device manager" tab on that screen

is there any items with a yellow question mark ??

is bluetooth shown under modems or network adapters (you need to click on the + next to them to see)

think it's not installed on the laptop...the card is missing or never installed

this is easy to install and would give you the same function cheaply
