    I reinstalled vista on my i1520 and it will not recognize BT hardware. I cant install the Dell driver / software with the hardware being acknowledged (Driver says BT radio is off). Dell tech said that the only way to fix this is reinstall Vista as the registry does not recognize BT in this install (?). Is there a way i can enable BT radio so I can install the drivers and get BT to work without reinstalling vista. Thanks!!!

    Problem Fixed. Dell has to send you some file from one of their FTP servers. If anyone needs it - PM me.
