Unable to start the bluetooth stack service

Bluetooth system tray icon. If you connect your bluetooth from R click system tray blutooth icon, it is useful. Otherwise, it is not necessary for startup

In case of an error message "unable to start the Bluetooth Stack Service" download the driver from the Broadcom Web site and install the Widcomm Bluetooth Software. Registry cleaners do not help at all.
