    The first time I installed Vista on my notebook, it found the internal Bluetooth adaptor and installed drivers for it automatically.

    When I re-installed vista, from the same DVD, it didn't find it at all; it didn't show up in device manager or install any drivers.

    I tried downloading the drivers from the Clevo site, but they don't find it either. I've also tried pressing fn1+F11 to enable radio, but still it isn't detected. This is strange since I haven't touched the module at all.

    Has anyone else had this problem, what else could I try?

    Thanks.

    Fn+F11 to disable WLAN. Fn+F12 to enable BT, orange LED on?

    along with the SRS wow and fan control (which was added later so that's allowed not to be there...)

    The SRS WOW falls into a different cathegory, as do the fan toggles.
    In the Fn+F keys...,just the F10 and F12 keys aren`t labelled, and we already mentioned what they do.
    As a review:
    Fn+1 = full fan speed/auto mode
    Fn+2 = SRS WOW on/off
    Fn+3 = med fan speed.

    Yeah, I know, I was simply saying that they are also "secret" keys

    The RU should be advertised : Labeled keys act as implied, secret keys-surprise :D

    Imagine somebody pushing Fn+1 instead of disabling the SRS WOW effect and not knowing about it :p
