Dell Precision M6700 Owners Thread

When you go into services you are presented a list of things you can modify. Go to Bluetooth support and double click that. In the middle of the new window it shows something about how it'll start up with windows. Pull down the menu and you'll see disabled, auto, manual. Change it to auto. You do the same for any other services.

Edit: reading comprehension fail. I don't know how that was set to manual. I just did a fresh windows install last Friday and I didn't mess with the services except for prefetch and other ssd optimizations. I found this solution while looking at reviews for a Bluetooth USB device which apparently fixes any problems you may have if you went that route.

 

Thanks for the links. The latest document only talks about Windows 7, would the procedure be the same for Windows 8 ?

 

Yes the same. Much of the reasoning behind ordering is that each may have something that informs the next (and maybe vise versa, the previous)
Make sure before you start - set Windows update to NEVER get updates and don't enable an internet connection until all the drivers are installed.
Edit: Also - make sure to reboot/restart if a prompt for that is presented.
=================
I'm sure some around here would appreciate someone making a simple ordered list (distilled from) that rather complex one.

zergslayer69,

Did you happen to put the Bluetooth driver in before the WiFi driver?
Because the Wifi should come before BT.

 

I don't recall the driver order I used, I installed everything "out of order". Would be interesting that the Bluetooth service was set to manual because of driver order. Seems unlikely though.

 

Okay, I'll shut down PremierColor and see how that works.

Thanks, guys.

 

Reconsider.

 

I have PremiereColor and its fine?

 

It doesn't always get along with everything and/or can be sensitive to alterations. My problem: http://forum.notebookreview.com/del...0712-m6600-owners-thread-606.html#post9181068
I can't get it to revert back even after uninstalling the update.

 

And I shall next time =p

 

Hi All, does anyone know if the GTX780M will work in the M6700? I was previously getting a GTX680M before getting ripped off by Lannbot. Was looking at ordering another GTX680M but if the 780M will work in the M6700 then i would be better going for that. Or is the 680M the max i can throw into this lappy? (Except the K5000M of course)
