Windows 7 on Latitude E6400

anyone with bluetooth tips? running win7 enterprise x64 and the bluetooth does not want to play nice. downloaded 370 package from Dell's Win7 downloads, completely hit or miss. generally I'm able to pair my MSFT bluetooth notebook mouse but after a few seconds of inactivity it stops working until I turn BT/WiFi off/on via the switch.

anyone with similar strange bluetooth problems?

 

yeah, i think there is something a bit messed with the bluetooth at the moment, although i can't say my luck with win7 is any worse than it was with vista. i too connect most of the times, but especially using the native control, have problems where i need to turn it off/on a few times.

 

ok great. Well I don't care anymore. I wanted a volume OSD, but the new Dell one is on my nerves, so the replacement software I found works like a charm and looks 100 times better.

 

unfortunate, it was working like a charm in the RC.

 

just looked on Dell's website again, they have a 10/15/2009 version of the BT software listed under W7 drivers now, going to install it and hope for the best.

 

Dell has a new Intel Graphics driver listed under Windows 7 drivers as well.

 

My Logitech BT mouse is working fine on Win 7 but I'm having problems syncing my Windows Mobile PDA via BT - PDA reports "Connected" but the PC still remains "Connecting", sometimes it finally connects, sometimes gives some random error.

No sync problems using USB.

 

Tried installing it. Soon it reported:
This install cannot make a downgrade.

Cannot remember the exact version numbers but it said the one I was trying install is older. The one I have now probably came from windows update.

 

the new BT package on Dell's site isn't making my situation any better.

 

theres also a new IMSM and WLAN driver as well!

Which bears the question...why install IMSM or WLAN if my wifi connection as well as HDD performance was fine without both of them? I installed them both anyway, but i figured I would ask.
