[QUOTE="Dakota, post: 2476982, member: 210540"] Hi- I recently purchased a Belkin Mini Bluetooth Adapter for my laptop. My machine is an Alienware M11x, R1 with a Core 2 Duo (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit). I believe I chose NOT to include the internal bluetooth module when I 'built' it online~ For some reason, my bluetooth adapter I bought won't work-- it does not make a sound when plugged in, it does not light up, it does not show up under device manager, and there is no option for bluetooth preference in control panel. I tried the thing on my desktop machine, an Asus running XP 32-bit, and it worked fine~ Soo... I don't know what to do. The software disc will NOT install because it says there is no bluetooth device detected... the CD also does not have Windows 7 support listed on the disc, though M$'s website says it IS in fact supported.. What can I try? I work on computers for a paycheck, and have for many years, so I am fairly certain it's not something obvious. Any and all help will be much appreciated! Thanks! :D [/QUOTE]
