Resolved Blue tooth icon disappears

Dear Friends,

I have WXP installed in my Laptop. A blue tooth is permanently connected to its USB port. I am facing a problem that blue tooth icon disappears by-self. I remove the blue tooth, re-insert it then icon appears. Can any one guide me how to always display the blue tooth in notification area?

For receiving any kind of data from external devices such as mobile phone, I right click on blue-tooth icon and then "receive a file ". If there is no blue tooth icon, i can not do such.

 

Hi Signode, Welcome to WindowsBBS

Have a read of Hide or Unhide Notification Area (System Tray) Icons in Windows XP and let us know if it helps.

 

Dear Wildfire,

I have followed the link and checked that Blue tooth icon was checked as "Always Show" but it behaves as i have quoted.

 

Ok,

Only other thing I can think of at the moment is perhaps it's meant to disappear if no BT devices are in range.

I can do some tests with my BT adapter and see what happens. Unfortunately I'm using win 7 and it's unlikey our adapters are the same either.

In the meantime please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions!

Once you've done the above please also reply with make/model of adapter and software version if known.

 

Dear Friends,

I need help to resolve this issue.

 

And I'm still waiting for

Before we can help you we need answers Signode.

 

Dear Wildfire;

Please explain how can I check the "make/model of adapter and software version" as after running of SIW, I could not find this info in tree.

 

Is the manufacter and/or model number shown on the adapter itself?

You could try right clicking on the Systray Icon and looking for help->About for the software version.

At the end of the day though about the only advice I can offer you is to make sure you have the latest drivers available. The request for more details is only to see if this is a common problem with your adapter and XP.

 

Dear Wildfire;

I am very sorry for my poor understanding. I could not understand the both. Do you mean by Adapter the "Power Supply" adapter which charges the battery?
I could not find the Systray Icon. Is this in SIW program or any other place in PC?

 

The make and model of the Blue Tooth device Signode, the systray is the area next the the clock on the taskbar, where you find your BT icon.

 

Dear Wildfire,

For Blue tooth, it is a mini device China made and i don't have its make/model number.

For Systray icon, I could not find it where you pointed out.

Please see the picture in the link below and guide to me.
Thanks for co-ordination

Please see the following link for the Bluetooth logo/symbol:

So where is the icon disappearing from?

 

It disappears from notification area by-self after some time. I disconnect the BT and insert it again then its icon appears and i able to right click>>>Receive a file>>>.

 

According to Signode's Facebook pic, (linked to above), there is a Bluetooth icon in the Systray.

 

Ok signode, what you call the notification area (which is not incorrect BTW) I call the systray, is there a help/about option when you right click on it?

@SpywareDr, thanks but wouldn't you say that area was next to the clock on the taskbar?

 

Dear SpaywareDR;

As I stated earlier,
"It disappears from notification area by-self after some time. I disconnect the BT and insert it again then its icon appears and i able to right click>>>Receive a file>>> "

 

Try the BT device in another system if possible or try another BT device in yours, at the very least please answer my question in post #16

 

? Yes, the Systray|Notification Area is the section of the Taskbar that usually includes the clock.

 

As i already stated,
"It disappears from notification area by-self after some time. I disconnect the BT and insert it again then its icon appears and i able to right click>>>Receive a file>>>. "
