Where has my Bluetooth gone?

I am currently running Vista Home Premium and I was using a Bluetooth MS Laser Mouse 8000. However after having a new motherboard fitted under warranty, my pc was returned after having a full HD format. i.e I have had to start afresh (don't ask why).

I now can not get Bluetooth to work. I am using the same dongle, a generic model and not the one matched to the mouse, (which I do not have). The dongle appears to install and shows on the device manager and the system tray bottom left of the screen but not in the control panel. If I right click on the icon i get a small menu but the only one that works is to connect a new device. It will search but not find the mouse.

I have tried the search facility of bthprops.cpl but nothing happens when I click on it.

Can anyone help.
