    I am loving W7. Its really slick and best of all simple. So far just about everything important seems to be working fine. I updated the nvidia driver. But there are some things that seem to be non-functional... such as the the sound drivers (even though I get sound. Sound Blaster says I need them in order to install), webcam, bluetooth and scroll bars on the mouse pad. I was wondering if there are any drivers that have been released that fix these issues. If not... oh well don't really care but it would be nice to have everything working. Thanks for the help.

    As of now some things just mystically started working but I cannot get the bluetooth to work. For one, I cannot even find the bluetooth menu.

    bluetooth, if it's the same as my m1330, you have to download bluetooth drivers from dell

    when you install, you might be asked to activate bluetooth through Fn+F2... theres a fix for that, a dell installer that simulates FnF2 for you

    I got the touch pad to work just fine. I will try that other driver for the BT right now. Thanks.
