Activation of Bluetooth via the control panel in Vista

I have Sprint everything data incrusive service and a new blackberry phone.  I'm trying to set up as a bluetooth device to access the internet on my Vista laptop.  For some reason, I can't do "recognize" to each other.  My phone does not recognize my computer as a bluetooth device and my computer does not recognize my phone as a bluetooth (from the control panel option) device.  Can someone please tell what I am doing wrong?  What step am I missing?  Is there some sort of card, I need to make this work?

Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me to uninstall McAffe Total Protection 2013 (central security part)? I tried to do it via the control panel (uninstall program) but I receive the following message: "Please wait until the current program is finished uninstalling or that" and it can not be uninstalled (I already rebooted my computer three times).

    2) click on show processes from all users. Then go to the process tab-> search "msiexec.exe".

    (3) if it is recognized, click on finish the process-> and yet, click on end process.

    From the other thread:

    old question question/new - matter always request how to fix or recover from the windows/system32/rnudll.exe in computer science. I see no other answer to this anywhere

    Hi DadVQ,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below and check if the problem still persists.

    Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/812340

     

    Method 2: If the problem persists, I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • When you try to uninstall several programs via the Control Panel, I get a message that "another installation is in progress and must be completed first". I have no other current facilities. Windows XP Home Edition

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hello dutchb,

    The error, "another installation is in progress and must be completed first" can be attributed to the InProgress key found in the registry at:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    I suggest that first make a backup of the registry or a system restore point. Then go to control panel, administrative tools, Services. Do scroll down and find the Windows Installer service, and set the start at the stop State. Delete the registry key to the location above.

    Now, you shouldn't get the installation in the progress message when you try to uninstall programs.

    I hope this helps.

    Sincerely,
