Bluetooth fubar'd Windows 7 64
Hi all, maybe someone can share a solution to a problem I'm having on my desktop PC. Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, Asus P8P67 Deluxe board, 16G ram, i7 CPU. I have a pair of BT headphones which work fine on my Dell laptop also using Win7 Pro 64 bit (go figure). I paired the same way on the desktop, it found them but sound would not play (paired but would not connect). I'm sitting within 3 ft of the computer! After playing with updating drivers and restarting Bluetooth Services, apparently, I have killed something in Windows 7. Now I am unable to turn on the BT adapter. If I click the BT icon in the system tray, it says Turn on the adapter. When I try to turn it on, it says to add a COM port. I now am unable to do that, because I can no longer get the computer to pair with the BT device. I don't know what I have broken in Windows. Can someone point me in the right direction? Don't know what I've screwed up, but drivers and everything else have been done so far. Other than reinstalling Windows I don't know what I'm missing. I get a missing COM port error message every time Windows starts up now.
