This document describes how to install and/or upgrade the Bluetooth driver 'stack' on Windows XP Service Pack 2.

CAUTION: Before performing any of the procedures detailed below, it's necessary to shut down the Bluetooth driver stack, as follows: Look in the Windows 'SysTray' (to the right of the Windows Task Bar, which is usually located at the bottom edge of the screen) for an icon in the form of either an antenna or a blue 'B'. If you see either one of these icons, right-click it, and then choose Exit – which will shut down the Bluetooth driver stack.

The names of two of the Bluetooth driver stacks discussed in this bulletin are "Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba" and "Microsoft Windows XP Bluetooth SP1 Stack".

Any Bluetooth connections between your computer and other devices (mouse, keyboard, PDA, cell phone, etc) will be disabled while any of the following procedures are under way.
