Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module is not working corrently w/Vist

[Guest]

Just installed Vista Ultimate RTM on an Dell Inspiron 9300 with Dell Wireless
350 Bluetooth Module and I can't seem to get the Bluetooth to function. This
is not mission-critical, but I am still curious why this happens.

The device is being detected and the following drivers are installed:

* Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
* Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module

However, the "bluetooth" indicator above the keyboard just keeps blinking
and when you attempt to discover the device, it never finds anything. Same
attempts on a Mac Mini nearby succeed.

I've searched both Microsoft and Dell support boards and it appears I am not
alone. Can anybody offer any words of advice on how to fix this?

Dmitri,

At this point-nope-sorry
Have the same Bluetooth card, and until Toshiba and Dell work it out-no
luck.
I've contacted Dell, they keep saying-in the future.
One thing of note-I've heard that you need to turn off(disable) the MSFT
one-for the Dell one to work.
Don't know about that though.
I'm still waiting on Dell and Toshiba(the Dell 350 card uses the Toshiba
Bluetooth stack)

Thanks, Jeff. Happy New Year!

As FYI, I tried the new Toshiba stack
(http://www.toshiba-tro.de/tools/bluetooth/51001/51001-ww.zip?Submit=Download),
but it can't seem to find the card -- gets stuck in "Please plug in the
adapter" phase. Looks like Microsoft, Toshiba, and Dell folks get their work
cut out for them in 2007
