Inspiron 1545 bluetooth
It's been a year now and I'm trying to install the bluetooth driver on XP but I failed, I just want a correct and assured information
does inspiron 1545 has bluetooth driver or not, the guys says that the wireless card supports bluetooth?
if it has bluetooth, how can I install it on windows XP, I'v surfed the net for a year, a whole year tried everything but the result is zero.
when I start to think it doesn't have bluetooth, i see the guide and other people saying that they could install bluetooth on their inspiron 1545.
how can I make sure whether it has a bluetooth driver or not ?
thank you in advance

Correct. If you have Intel video, the card is easily installed - if you have ATI video, it's much more difficult (requires removing the mainboard):

The card is this one:

It may be easier to use a USB (external) adapter - these are now so small they can often be left connected all the time:

Bluetooth would not have been standard on the system - did you order the extra-cost option?

When you ordered the system, did you choose the Bluetooth option -- it cost extra. It was NOT included with the basic 1545 system.
Did you purchase the option?
If so, it will appear on your invoice.

no actually I didn't order that, I didn't even know, I bought it from a local merchant and i didn't choose anything, so if I don't order extra-cost option I get No BLUETOOTH, is that it ?
