With my laptop I have a Bluetooth card, (bluetooth 370minicard). For some-reason I can not find windows 7 32 bit drivers for this card. Any ideas?
note* and no its not on the dell website. |

They might simply not exist. In some cases, Vista version of drivers could work, provided you manage to install them.
In case of bluetooth, generic drivers could also work, but I think that's more of a case for USB dongles rather than cards.
No guarantees on anything though. |

I checked a few forums and it seems that, for that card, installing the Vista drivers in Vista compatibility mode works. |

I never thought of installing them in compatibility mode. Will do and I'll report back, thanks.
~~~~~~~~EDIT~~~~~~~~
Sweet, the drivers successfully installed in vista SP2 compatibility mode. thanks. |
