    I have a M17x-R2,

    I purchased it almost a year ago - around April 2010
    So some months ago I was sick of RAID 1 and I reinstalled windows 7 with the disks from the black manual book ive received in my alienware box.

    It failed the first time because a driver was wrong installed - something of BIOS.
    So it crashed couple of times and so on, my dad cleaned up the whole disks and set them to RAID 0
    So after all that stuff and fails it finaly worked,
    I put the recource dvd in my computer and started downloading the drivers, after that I went to Dell.com for some other new drivers.

    But the problem is now:
    My Microsoft Bluetooth mouse 5000 doesnt work again. And in device manager my bluetooth radio's where gone. I thought lets reinstall the driver for bluetooth. Now i wanna do that but the driver installer tells me to turn on and off wireless but my touchpad doesnt work anymore after i reinstalled win 7.

    Can anyone help me?
    Because now I cant put wireless on/off and stealth mode on/off


    (Sorry of my bad enlish im from The Netherlands)
