Vostro 1500 bluetooth module issue

hello
i've bought a vostro 1500 note and have installed windows xp home; but after the installation, windows didn't recognize the bluetooth module....like it was detached...so i've returned back to vista because before xp installation it was perfectly recognized... but nothing...it seems that the module is dead... the thing that is driving me crazy is that the module is recognized by the bios and activated, but in thos state i'm unable to reinstall the device driver...what can i do??? is there another person with the same problem???
thanks...
gabriele

Ps. sorry for my english.. i'm italian

 

install the bluetooth driver that came with your dell discs?

 

i tried but during the installation process, it tells me to light on the bluetooth module.... as suggested by the softare i've pushed ctrl+f2 to light on but it didn't work

 

I have the same problem in my vostro 1500 after installing windows xp..., it seems to be a hardware problem...

sorry for my english, i am argentinian

 

Download the solution to this issue:

If you have it turned off before XP installation, it will not see the card. The R159805 patch solve this issue. I just install a refurbished 355 in my Vostro 1400 running XP and I have no problem with the new driver R161378.

 

was worried when i reinstalled xp from vista.. thanks to u this worked...
