I know you guys have missed my imbecilic queries on tweaking Bluetooth…so here’s a new wrinkle I am trying to contend with.  Just to remind the BT gurus, I have installed and been using the Widcomm stack.  Since a week or so ago, when I boot up the TR the BT tray icon remains white (not green as it should) and when I select it I should get the “My Bluetooth Places” screen.  I don’t get anything.  After a varied delay (usually two to ten minutes) I get two error messages which I will show below.  Another strange part of the equation is that my BT mouse still works (but I can’t sync any other device without the “My Bluetooth Places” display.  I was wondering if any of the Widcomm users had any experience with this problem.  I have also posted the question on Jon Scaife’s forum with no help there yet.  The error messages in order of appearance are:

                  BTTray
    ERROR: Unable to start the Bluetooth stack service

and…

          Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\Program Files\IBM\Bluetooth Software\BTTray.exe
    R6025
    -pure virtual function call

Here is a little more information that might help with troubleshooting. After an unsuccessful un-installation of the Widcomm software I performed a System Restore to just prior to the uninstall process and… the BTTray.exe worked fine.  Then after a day or two the same problem.  I just decided to test this out a little more and set a restore point at a time when the BTTray was not working (a couple of minutes ago).  I then did a System Restore.  I did notice that the BTTray icon shows up later in the tray with a restore.  I also noted that it is GREEN and working.  Anyone have a clue what is going on?  I don’t want to have to do a restore every day or two.  I hope someone can help resolve this issue.  Thanks.
