Studio 1737 Windows 7 Bluetooth driver download...
Hello,
Since I've lived through this frustrating nightmare I thought I'd put this in the forum so others might not have as difficult a time. This is in reference to: Finding, downloading and installing a Windows 7 compatible bluetooth (Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Minicard) driver on a Dell Studio 1737 laptop. I bought my 1737 with 64-bit Vista on it, which worked fine, with a coupon for an upgrade to 64-bit Windows 7 when it was available. Here's the thing, the Windows 7 upgrade disks DO NOT include a driver for the bluetooth and no Windows 7 bluetooth drivers are listed on the Dell driver download site. The Vista drivers do not work under 7. After much searching and messing around I finally found this:
Dell file R246770.exe
It lists it's compatibility as:
| Systems
Alienware Laptop M17xR2
Latitude E6400
|
Operating Systems
Windows 7 32-bit
Windows 7 64-bit
|
However it installs and works fine on a Dell Studio 1737 running 64-bit Windows 7. I hope this helps anyone having the same issue.

Then stick to your own topic instead of throwing *** at people who have shown your instructions don't work. You failed. It's not anyone else's fault if they report on the fact that it doesn't work.
You're the only person here trolling with your snide petty comments. No one needs them.

The instructions work for everyone but you. I'll let you decide what that means.

Very busy to pat yourself on the back it seems.

I didn't need them to work for me. I simply replaced the computer with one that comes with things like Bluetooth installed.
When Dell no longer supports, why should others continue to support Dell?

Because they way this topic discussion is going, this thread will be locked.
Bluetooth drivers can be found at...
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/studio-1737/drivers
Under network, the bluetooth drivers are usually in the same package as the network adapter drivers, with BT after them.
