    Hey all,

    I've installed Vista 64-bits on my M1530. I've installed the bluetooth drivers but every time I turn on the bluetooth receiver Vista says that it found new hardware and needs to install driver. I've tried using the drivers above by browsing to them but Vista says it can't find any drivers. What gives?

    That seems a little too drastic. You don't think it's a driver issue?

    hmmm........ the chances are low according to me.
    however try a fresh install of vista

    also remove the bluetooth module and reinsert it (refer owners manual)
