    I have a strange issue, i got two different Thinkpads, both with a brand new Windows 7 SP1 (installed from same disk) and i try to connect a bluetooth gamepad : on one it'll work directly, on the other one it shows "connecting" very slowy succeed however the device appear offline in Windows and the controller still flash (searching to pair). Of course i tried removing it for the "working unit" before adding it on the other one. Any ideas?
