I have seen similar behavior before with a network interface on a dual 
boot XP /SuSE box. Look in your BIOS and see if there is a setting for 
the onboard bluetooth. My recollection here is a bit foggy, its been 
awhile but I believe Vista is disabling bluetooth  on shutdown. When you 
restart the machine never actually gets turned off.
Something like that anyway but check  your BIOS  settings.
