Trying to setup my Nokia 6230 bluetooth phone with Win XP SP2 but my machine does not appear to have bluetooth loaded. I can find nothing about bluetooth in Control Panel.
Where has it gone? what shall I do? any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello! You don't say what kind of Bluetooth hardware you have on your computer. Is it a laptop with built-in Bluetooth, or a USB adapter?

Also, the Nokia 6230 is known for some Bluetooth problems.

Does it have built-in Bluetooth? Not all models have. Also, have you turned Bluetooth on? The icon will only show up when the hardware is enabled.
