    Hi guys
    I got already my machine, this looks great, but i am having some problems, i think so

    First, when i start the pc yesterday i saw the Bluetooth enabled, but, i disable it cause i saw a batboy post with some guy which was having problems with some in game alerts which ruin the gameplay, anyway, i need to test the bluetooth but now i cant figure out how to run it . . . i went to msconfig and i set service bluetooth to run with windows, also, i went to pc properties and list the devices, but i can see any bluetooth there, also, there is not such direct acces to enable it, sorry, i dont try never windows 7 with a pc with integrated bluwtooth, i dont know how to activate it :/

    Here is a pic of my device

    Another thing is the youtube, i tried to see a youtube video and this runs great but, when i try to set up the volume using the youtube volume control the video get freeze for a while, i've downloaded and installed the latest adobe flashplayer from the web but still, now less than before but there it is; i was kinda concerned about the dpc latency, so, i tried to test my machine, but i got this when i try to run the dpc checker

    What can i do with that ?

    Another thing is, where can i see the drivers revision for my ATI card ? i was thinking about update drivers but im not sure from where . . .

    Thanks guys for your time and patience, sorry if there are threads with the same, maybe you has been getting bored for many things like this, if that if the cause, please point me to a thread for noobs with this kind of troubles, thanks so much

    By the way, this came with A05 bios installed, is there the A06 already aout and stable for single ATI 5870 ? . thanks again

    Hit FN+F2 to enable bluetooth, should work. Also there are some post for down loading ATI Drivers, I would stay with the Dell drivers as the others are not supported yet. :D

    Error 0x00000002 means File Not Found, so it looks like a driver file has been removed at some point.

    One thing you may want to try is to force Windows to re-detect your Bluetooth module. To do this, find the Dell Wireless 370 entry in your Device Manager and remove it (hit Delete). When you've done that, reboot and Windows should detect the device again and set it up for you.

    Right click taskbar, properties, customize, check box where it says "Always show all icons in the taskbar"

    Blue Tooth Icon, bottom right hand corner.
    Catalyst Icon, bottom right hand corner.

    Thanks dude but Fn + F2 is for enable or disbale the battery

    Well, i dont know how but i went able to activate it again, i saw the Bluetooth device icon and i made the configuration for it

    Thanks, i did that too, now this start disable and i can select the moment to activate it or not.

    But, i think i will format this, i am having serious problems with the wifi, i use a DIR 300 DLink router, works great for the rest of my device, but, my AW get a hard time to connect to it, and now, i didnt paid attention to the windows automatic update and this had messed this even more !!, now the wifi goes down every time :/

    I will look for the post that have the drivers and the right order to install, gonna follow it, but, i cant remind if this talk about the CCC, where can i download it ? and which version should i get ? my specs are on my signature, guys, thanks a lot
