T61 Bluetooth software problem(Vista OS)

#1 Post by TheBrain » Mon Nov 17, 2008 5:35 pm

Hello,

I'm having a problem concerning the software of the bluetooth.
Bluetooth is already installed and working without any problems but my problem is the software and the menu of the Bluetooth.
I think this is the one from Microsoft Image

Do you have the same bluetooth menu?
How can i get the original bluetooth menu from Thinkpad?

Thank you very much in advance!

My T60 originally didn't have Bluetooth, I've added the internal Bluetooth card myself and installed the Lenovo drivers (Vista Ultimate). My Bluetooth menu looks exactly like on OP's screenshot. I didn't even know it could be different.

TheBrain, are you saying you had it different in Vista? Because maybe their stack is for XP only and it doesn't work on Vista or they decided to stick with Microsoft one for some other reason.

Vista has much better support on Bluetooth comparing with XP.

So the BT driver vendors like WIDCOMM instead of giving a big face lift for the driver UI, they just provide or improve Bluetooth profiles not supported by Vista native one.
