    i dont know if others got this trouble, but widcomm default bluetooth manager fails too much, while accesing my cellphone it crashes and leaves my phone as "bluetooth is still connected to pc".

    tried to install bluesoleil software which was a little more easy to manage with my cellphone (nokia e71) but couldnt install on the alienware; said "bluetooth hardware not found".

    I remember bluesoleil from 2007... that thing made my dinolaptop crash/freeze, so I never used it ever again. Wonder if it would allow PS3 controllers with the R3?

    I tried installing bluesoleil and every time after a restart my bt would no longer work. Even tried reinstalling drivers. Only solution I had was format.
