I have a dell laptop that shows the bluetooth manager icon in the bottom corner. when i click on this and click new connection it tells me blue tooth is not ready yet. I cannot find out how to turn it on.

Any suggestions ?

Otherwise check in the device manager and make sure you actually have bluetooth, sometimes the lappy may come preloaded with the same software as a higher spec lappy, but not actually have bluetooth. wratterus (105)

And as Wratterus says, it does have bluetooth, doesn't it?
