    hi. i'm trying to use my R61's integrated BlueTooth to connect to my cell phone. i used Arkit3kt's clean install guide to nuke Vista in favor of XP, eschewing Access Connections. i'm having no problems switching between wired & wireless internet so i'm not inclined to use install Access Connections unless i have to. to get BlueTooth control, will i have to?

    i think the problem might stem from the fact that "BlueTooth Devices" does not appear in my control panel. the driver, however, shows that it's working ok. what gives?

    If you don't mind, I'll leave this thread in case someone else comes across the same problem. It'll be a nice reminder. :)
