    Hi all, I recently got a Dell Studio 14z and did a clean install of build 7100 on it. After the install, I can't get my internal bluetooth module to work. In fact, I don't even get an unknown device in the device manager, and when I install Dell drivers, they tell me that they don't apply to my system.

    Is this a common issue? Can anyone recommend solutions?

    Nevermind, I got it working. Thanks for your help, Lew, and sorry for the unnecessary thread.

    Don't know about Dell but it's working fine on build 7100 on my Thinkpad with whatever drivers Win7 found.

    Are you positive the bluetooth radio is turned on? The lack of an unknown device in device manager suggests the system can't even see it's there.
