    I'd like to re-install Bluetooth on my XPS 1645

    I've had intermittent problems with Bluetooth on my XPS 1645 since I've had the laptop, losing connection to my Dell Bluetooth mouse requiring re-pairing every few weeks, and I suspect faulty driver installation.

    Has anybody worked out how to completely remove and reinstall Bluetooth software and drivers (without reformatting?)

    The problem I have is that when I run the (60Mb) Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Minicard driver package it keeps telling me the latest version is "already installed" and there is no option to remove it manually.

    Also would be great if somebody can post a link to the most reliable Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Minicard driver package for the 1645.

    thanks guys.
