MiniView Display = NONE
Bluetooth component = ??
Intel X38 (Bearlake X) chipset Precision T3400

Then I went into Start > Right clicked on My Computer > Properties > Hardware Tab > Device Manager.
I then righ clicked on the BT-Mini receiver and clicked on Update Driver.
This pops up the Hardware Update Wizard and choose "Yes, this time only", then choose "Install from a list or specific location". Next, choose "Search for the best driver in these locations", uncheck "Search removable media", and check "Include this location in the search". Browse to the folder that you extracted the executable bluetooth package, select folder "Win32", and click ok. Then click next in your Hardware Update Window. Voila! It should work for I am using mine right now. Thanks for the XP drivers here, for it helped alot. You might want to add this to your list!
Sorry this was so long, I wanted to be specific so people wouldn't get lost or have a lot of questions.

You star, it works! :-)
The wizard seemed to get stuck while it was searching for the driver, so I killed Device Manager and restartted it, and it sorted itself out.
I've tested it, and device discovery and file transfer is all working perfectly as far as I can tell.
Thanks, this is great!

Audio: R124105
Chipset: R167233
Ethernet: R162323
Downloaded the video drivers from nVidia, and I found the WiFi chip drivers here from the OEM maker:

Oh, and the WiFi card is not really worth it as it just does not work well...under Vista or XP believe me I tried with the original Dell drivers and what I found. I ended up laying down a 24' 10/100 cable and I'm much happier as I can actually use the internet now.

We've tried R138037 and R124105 both, and in fact have run both multiple times..... even tried to point each device directly to the C:\Dell\Drivers\R******\.... folder. Each time, we get that the device we are trying to install is not supported.
