    Hello
    I installed a fresh install of win7 on a new hard drive on my CF18(CF-18KEH01VE).
    The BT is UGX and did work on a previous install of windows 7 according to the instructions available on the forum.

    The BT module is however dormant. The wireless switch utility does "see" it, however switching it on/off causes a slight delay before I can use it again. Apparently there is some sort of a timeout-delay.
    Removing the daughterboard (And BT with it) the option to enable it disappears from the switch utility.

    I've tried some XP-versions of the switch utility to no avail.

    Any help here?

    The installation instructions are for digitizer models of a fairly basic configuration. Thus, those instructions don't specifically cover Bluetooth setup. A Windows 7 Bluetooth stack driver is available for the CF-19K/L, which is the model used as a source for several other Windows 7 drivers.

    I would recommend posting to the installation thread instead of creating a new thread...keeps it all together. :)
