    Probably been covered but couldn't find this exact problem.

    My bluetooth ceases to show in the bios or work in windows after installing Win 7 with the original reinstall disks(XP worked fine). There is a wonderful notation in the user manual "Windows 7 Bluetooth is not capable"? Tried the driver from the Panny site with no luck. Is there a workaround?


    Thanks

    From the install instructions:

    Install "BIOS Setup Config
    (Bluetooth) Utility" first.
    Please start installation work
    after turning on a Bluetooth
    supply.

    and:

    The module cannot be progressed by turning
    off "Wireless Switch".
    "Wireless Switch" turn "ON", and perform and
    develop.

    You need to install this file first:

    http://pc-dl.panasonic.co.jp/dl/dow...l(Bluetooth)_v1.00l10_19K_19L_W732_ss6982.exe

    Then install the Bluetooth stack:
