Default Dell E6400 laptop Bluetooth

I have a Dell E6400 Latitude running Win7.

I can see the keyboard LED "blue" icons are lit up for WiFi and Bluetooth.
Where or how is Bluetooth handled/managed on this Dell E6400 laptop,
as I don't think I have found anything within Win7 to support it ??

found one of many different Drivers for the BT 370 card.
Downloaded and installed, and it has all the driver & client support
screens.

BTW - every time I boot Win7,
there is a info box down in the bottom right corner
about -- Installing BT Driver - Audio -

Every time ?? even with the BT adapter turned OFF ??

Have you reloaded Windows 7 recently? Is there any chance it installed a MS generic chip-set driver instead of an original or updated one?

Maybe it's lonely and it's hoping that if it installs the driver
it can turn the adaptor on, and then they can sneak off into a dark corner
of the net and interface.

I installed the Dell driver,
and I think MS might have downloaded and installed a new MS driver
once it found the BT device installed and working...
