    Hello,

    I have a Studio XPS 1640, Windows 7/64 Ultimate, Dell/Widcomm 370 wireless/bluetooth card.

    My issue is that after I installed the latest recommended bluetooth driver from Dell support, 6.2.0.9600 version, It turns on the radio, but won't detect my other bluetooth devices. Also, when I click on "devices and printers" it shows nothing after a very long time watching that green bar move slowly across the top of the screen. When I turn off the device in the bottom right of my screen, the "devices and printer" page works normally. I have tried installing it multiple times and same results.

    I also notice when installing, a box shows about 8 items that are being installed. The top two never are completed. I think they are the main bluetooth items.

    Any suggestions?
