    I did a fresh install again on my P-171x fx and I downloaded the drivers for my blue tooth and media card reader, and I can not get either of them to show up? In device manager what are they under, I think vista put something in their place. When I goto install my blue tooth driver it says to turn on or plug in the device? I try the funtion key to turn it on and nothing?

    When I did the fresh install on mine, the Bluetooth did not show up in the device manager. And every time I tried to run the driver install it would say there was no Bluetooth device present.

    Until one day after I intalled the Gateway fix to remap the Media Keys. After the install I hit Fn+F6 and up pops a "Installing Device" bubble.

    I guess the moral of the story in my case was you have to turn it on first for the system to see it.
