    After formatting the drive, I forgot about the bluetooth software. :rolleyes:

    So where can I get this software back? I tried Dell site, I couldn't find. Went to WIDCOMM now BroadComm, confusing..

    Do you have the driver n utilities CD, that was shipped with your laptop? You can get it from there...

    Check here > http://support.dell.com/support/dow...-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=5&fileid=188664

    If my memory serves me well, I remember the Dell Support telling me this included the complete bt module!! Try it... but I installed it from the CD.

    (Btw, that was for the M1530... next time when you post, include the model name / details.)

    I have the XPS 1530.

    Tinderbox, when I install the BTW, it says my bluetooth device is not configured properly.. :(

    I will look for the utilities CD now..
