Hey there - I did a bad, bad thing. I was testing the ability to use a Bluetooth headset on my MacBook Pro - The internal Apple Bluetooth Radio did not work so I tried a DLink USB Bluetooth dongle. I did get that to work but in doing so deleted my internal Apple Bluetooth Enumerator and Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator from the device manager. I want to go back to using it but I can't figure out how to re-add it. I've tried rerunning the Boot Camp driver exe, running Add Hardware wizard, brute force... no worky. Any ideas? Thanks so much for the assistance!

Okay, after much gnashing of teeth I was able to fix it:

 

1. Uninstall Macintosh Drivers for XP

2. Open a command prompt and type the following:

 

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

 

3. Run device manager and select "Show Hidden Devices"

4. Delete EVERYTHING that references Bluetooth (even HID devices)

5. Re-run the Macintosh Drivers for XP

6. Reboot

7. Happy dance.
