    First off, I want to say this forum rocks because without it, my laptop wouldn't be running good old XP right now (I survived on Vista for a few months but it's just too too slugish... Waiting for SP1 now).

    Anyways, I got XP installed after reading the threads several times, got everything installed and this PC is flying now. However, I got two little problems that I couldn't find the answers too (or I missed them).

    First off is the Bluetooth in Windows XP with the M1330. Although it's set to off (little red sign), at bootup the XPS Bluetooth light is on to indicate that its running, even though the software is off. The only way I can figure out how to turn it off is to enable Bluetooth and redisable it and then it's off... Sorta annoying but livable.

    As for my other problem, I don't know if it's a problem but with the DVD drive, when I press the eject button the system freezes. What I mean is that if I'm moving my mouse around and simulationsly press the eject button, the mouse will freeze till the mechanism has done it's operation and then, once finished, my mouse can move again...

    Normal? Thanks in advance.

    I don't know about the bluetooth because I don't have it but the eject cd problem is normal. I saw people having problem with that and myself is one of them, but it shouldn't bother u that much. I don't know if anyone come up with a solution for it yet.
