    I just reformatted my HEL80 to do a nice clean install of everything. Everything runs fine, except Bluetooth. When I install the drivers, it tells me it can't find the Bluetooth device (although the WiFi switch is on). The first time I installed Windows and Bluetooth it worked flawlessly, so I have no clue what the problem could be here...

    Anyone got an idea?

    Just in case, do you have Bluetooth and WiFi enabled in your Wireless Select Switch (Red W in your taskbar)?
