Cannot enable Bluetooth in HP8440p

[wannabexcite]

I am using HP EliteBook 8440p,with Window 7 professional.  I installed the Bluetooth driver downloaded from HP but the Wireless Asistant still showing my Bluetooth as disable, I can not enable and the caption say "This device has been disabled in the computer setup utility and cannot be enabled from Wireless Assistant.

the Bluetooth icon is also missing in Control Panel tray. Please advise.

Hi:

I believe that message you are getting is that your Bluetooth device is turned off in the BIOS.

Go into your BIOS and enable it.

See page 8 of the link below:

Remember to hit the F10 (save settings key) everywhere you make changes, and upon exiting your BIOS setup program.
