Bluetooth installation I have bought new Dell Vostro 1510, installed windows xp on it, I think bluetooth is installed by default on it. Its icon is on showing blue light but when ever I try to connect some thing to its bluetooth it says bluetooth driver not detected. But from resource CD I have installed all the drivers.

Try this link make sure it is for your model specification, Click Here this is a 360 Bluetooth driver page install application from Dell.com..John

right click on task bar and check the customize

Is your 1510 compatible with Windows 7? Did you check the list? http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx

Make sure you have the correct drivers installed for your OS and make sure that both wireless and bluetooth are enabled in the system setup. To do this, boot into the system setup by rebooting your computer and tapping on F2. On the left pane, look for Wireless (navigate using the arrow keys) then hit Enter, then navigate to bluetooth, make sure the setting is set to ENABLED (complete instructions for navigations and options selections should be illustrated on the lower portion of the setup screen). Once ENABLED, reboot into your OS and go into to control Panel open the bluetooth icon, make sure your external Bluetooth device (phone/smartphone, etc.) is set to discovery. Search for the device to see if it is detected.
The Bluetooth Icon will appear in the systray (lower right corner of your desktop task bar. Right click on that icon and then select the option you need. Make sure you enter the same device code in both the laptop and the device you want the computer to connect to. Hope this helps FixYa!

first you check whether you have installed bluetooth software properly. after that try to on bluetooth by using fn key and bluetooth key.
second go to device manager and under network adapters check your bluetooth status. okay
despite if it not work then it might be hardware problem then contact your toll free no 1800-425-4016.

install the blue tooth driver first. u can download the full software from support.dell.com site.

It should be installed by default. Switch on the little switch on the left side of the notebook. You should see the blue light (on) with the symbol of bluetooth inmidden of the wireless-symbol and the num-lock.

boot to the BIOS (by turning your computer on the start tapping on F2) after that, on the left pane, look for wireless, (you can only navigate using the arrow keys. highlight wireless then hit Enter, after that highlight bluetooth check if its ENABLED, if it IS ENABLED, go to control Panel open the bluetooth icon, make sure that the device you are trying to hook up to the computer is on Discovery mode or the bluetooth wireless is activated, try searching for it (the device) see if it connects this time. Hit me back on the results.

Boot to the system BIOS and ensure that a Bluetooth card is actually installed and seen by the system. I'm pretty sure bluetooth is a option on the 1510 and you may not have a BT card.

hi,its easy
go in "starts" menu and then go in all programs and then go i bluetooth, then go in wireless file transfer,after doing tht a bluetooth ikon will appear near the place where you see the clock on moniter,right click on that ikon and then select the option u want to perform. remeber that enter same code in both the laptop and the device which you want to use like mobile.
