    Hi, I'm running on a Dell Inspiron 1440 Vista. Currently, I'm looking for a driver for my Bluetooth device. Does anybody know a site where I can download one for free? No torrent sites please, any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    if it is a bluetooth module coming from Dell, you should be able to get it from dell support. I got mine from their support site when upgraded from Vista to Windows 7(which is a Toshiba stack).

    The best place to download driver for bluetooth peripheral device is from dell website itself. Get in touch with their product support to make sure you obtain the right driver. Alternatively, there are also driver download sites that offer free driver tools and software that can update drivers automatically. Try checking driversupdate.org or driversdownloadhub.com to see if you can find one.
