    Did a clean install of Win7 Ultimate on my GT70 and just discovered (by trying to pair a new BT mouse) that the bluetooth drivers are default microsoft, which seems to be the usual culprit when there are issues with pairing the MS mouse.

    I tried forcing the driver from the Intel wlbt_n2230 drivers and also tried running all the installers in that directory and so far no dice.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Nevermind.

    To try and control my impatience while waiting to receive the new notebook, I downloaded all the drivers from the MSI global site, carefully extracted them and slipstreamed them into a clean Win7 install.

    Somehow, I managed to overlook the actual Bluetooth driver. When I went to try and install it, I saw that the wifi card driver folder was labeled "wlbt" and I assumed that stood for Wireless Lan BlueTooth - especiall since it's a combo card.

    Derp.

    Just found the proper drivers and everything works perfectly.

    We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
