Wireless radio and bluetooth not working/found on clean install r61 with Vista64.

Hi everyone.

I'm working on a clean install of Vista64 on my Thinkpad R61. I've downloaded and installed all the drivers from Lenovo's site (except for the bluetooth ones, more on that below), but many of the hotkeys as well as the wireless radio and bluetooth are not working.

On the Wireless Connection Status box it reads "Radio off", and when I hit the "Power on Wireless Radio" button, nothing happens.

I cannot even install the bluetooth drivers. When I try it tells me that no bluetooth devices were found.

I've checked the Radio switch on the front of the body of laptop itself, and it's switch to on.

Hotkeys that work:
Screen dimmers (on Home and End)
Keyboard light (on PgUp)
Sleep (on F4)
Zoom (on spacebar)

The rest are doa, even though I've installed the available hotkey driver from Lenovo.

Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm guessing it's driver related but I've installed everything available on the driver page... Much appreciated in advance.

 

For the bluetooth, you have to turn on your bluetooth before you can install new drivers for it. It might be off right now.

Did you install the system interface driver? That is tied to the OSD and the hotkey drivers.
