So why isn't my BT hub detected? 
Grrr. *Annoying*

Wasn't SP2 supposed to bring bluetooth support to XP?

If XP supports BT right out of the box, why has it never-ever recognized my BT devices? I have tried both a standard USB dongle and my Logitech MX900, and neither are detected as anything but the standard 'unknown USB device' before drivers are fed into the computer.
Anyway, if the built-in standard stack/driver is crap, it doesn't really matter. Widcomm's has always worked fine for me, I just thought I'd maybe save myself the hassle of yet another installation/reboot, but it's no biggie.

Resolved problem with xp sp2
Dear fellows,
I had the same problem with xp sp2 to my bluetooth devices too. Sincerely sp2 works flawlessly with my Logitech bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but when I try to use my bluetooth headset xp sp2 can't recognise it. Surfing the internet I see this is a common problem, because sp2 internal bluetooth only support these devices, but not audio devices (headset, mobile phone). After several hours install and deinstall the widcomm bluetooth software trying to make sp2 recognises it, I realize that I must uninstall the internal xp drivers to get ride of this probl. Here is my howto:
1. Install the latest widcomm software 1.4.3.4
2. Patch the drivers, because widcomm is not xp certified at this time (use this link http://jon.gotdns.com/downloads/public/Apps/patch_v4.exe)
3. Install the bluetooth software (my case Logitech bluetooth sofware)
4. Before reboot machine, hook up a wired mouse to gain access to windows later
5. Boot xp in safe mode
6. Uninstall these bluetooth devices in device manager
7. Reboot, remove the wired mouse to make xp recognizes the bluetooth devices
8. Work flawlessly. Now I have access to all my bluetooth devices as better supported by the proved widcomm bluetooth software.
Hopefully You can make used of my experience.

Instead of going through all the steps you mention, I just install my Logitech drivers, but maybe that's too simple what do I know.
