    Every since I reinstalled vista i've been getting this same error, 'Unable to start the bluetooth stack service'. This happens about 5 minutes after I start windows. I've tried removing and reinstalling the drivers, and to my knowledge there are no dell driver updates or windows hotfixes to correct this error. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I didn't reinstall Vista - this is with the factory image....
    And I've tried re-installing the drivers from the Dell support site. 2-3 times now.
    It seems to make it go away, for days and even weeks, but then it comes back every time so far. Just came back the other day, so I'm in the same boat as you.

    Having this issue since I reinstalled Vista. Just hangs and tells me to hit Fn+F2. Does nothing.
