| Member | After Vista upgrade, Bluetooth stopped working I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 with built-in Bluetooth. My Bluetooth always worked fine, untill I did a Vista upgrade. After fixing the usual problems that people expirience after the upgrade (sound stops working, issues with automatic downloads, etc.) I now realize that I can not get my Bluetooth to work. It is still built-in to my computer. Yet, I don't have the icon in my system tray to activate, nor does it show up in Control panel. When I right-click a file to "send to", there is an option "Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard" instead of the regular Bluetooth icon. When I click "Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard", I get a message "fsquirt.exe can not be found". How can I get my Bluetooth working again? Thanks alot! |

| Innocent till proven | Re: After Vista upgrade, Bluetooth stopped working That appears to be a standard problem when you upgrade and is very hard to fix, the easiest way is to use your upgrade disk to do a clean install. But go to your Dell site first and download all your Vista motherboard drivers Last edited by caretaker; 07-16-2008 at 05:36 AM.. Reason: spelling |

| Member | Re: After Vista upgrade, Bluetooth stopped working Well, I got my issue fixed!!!! ![]() I went to Dell's website. I downloaded whatever drivers sounded like they had something to do with Bluetooth, and now it works!!!!!! There is only one small difference, though not a big deal. - Obviously, any ideas to fix it are welcome. ![]() Before I upgraded I would activate Bluetooth by first turning on wireless (Fn+F2), and then the Bluetooth icon would appear in the system tray in a dull color. I would then right-click the icon, and click turn-on Bluetooth, which would activate Bluetooth and make the icon a bright blue and white. I could then deactivate Bluetooth (without turning off wireless) by right-clicking the icon, clicking turn-off, and it would deactivate, even though my wireless was still on. Now after the upgrade, the Bluetooth is completely in sync with my wireless. If I turn on wireless, Bluetooth goes on. And there is no option to right-click the icon to turn it off. The only way to turn it off is by completely turning off my wireless. This is not a big issue at all. I'm happy it's working. Though I wish it would work exactly as before. |
