    Okay, I've just reinstalled windows for at least the third time on my new machine, and the last time I noticed that Microsoft recognized my BT device before I had the latest Dell driver installed. So, my question is, how important is it to install the Dell Driver? Would it hurt to just use the Windows one, or will I be missing out on some features otherwise?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Might as well, you may experience problems with it if you don't.

    I guess I'll install it again. I felt that BT was the cause of my initial system crash (still not convinced it wasn't) and now I think it may be Office 2003 related, so I guess I'll give the Toshiba stack another go. I just want my new system to be stable!

    Yeah, they've been a help so far. I've never had issues with a computer like I've had with this one. I think they can all be attributed to bad software though... I'll be testing that theory soon (by not installing it and seeing if I can remain stable)
