    Good evening everyone,
    I freshly installed windows 7 on an intel 510 ssd and had no bsods during the driver installations. I used Batboy's Driver install order however i came across a few minor annoyances such as
    1) when i installed the driver " Dell_Wireless-375-Bluetooth-_A00_R289410" i could not get past the message " Activate bluetooth using wireless switch" even though i pressed the wireless button in the m17x r3 media bar. In addition i do not see bluetooth in the device managers.
    2) When i used the stock hdd i used to raise screen brightness by just pressing F5 but after the fresh install i now have to press FN+F5, can anyone help to revert from the FN+F_ to just plaing F_ to execute a command?
    3) Also in the device manager i see " Mobile intel (r) HD graphics" Is this the intel 3000 gpu or is it just a default kind of driver.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
