Hi buddies,
It look hard to do but it isn't. If you do what I say you'll solve your problems with bluetooth at Inspiron 1525 runing Windows 7 easily.
a. Download the driver at Dell.com:

- 2. Click on the link "Drivers & Downloads" in the end of the site.
- 3. Select your model ("Laptops", "Inspiron Laptop", "1525") and confirm it.
- 4. Click on Network.
- 5. Download the "Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module (Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR)"
- 6. Save the file "R140135.exe".
b. Install the driver:
- 1. Execute the file "R140135.exe".
- 2. Open the folder "C:\dell\drivers\R140135\3100_216".
- 3. Execute the file "Setup.exe".
- 4. When the driver ask you to active your Bluetooth antena, click in "Cancel.
- 5. Open the folder "C:\dell\drivers\R140135\3100_216\Win32"
- 6. Execute the file "Inst.exe".

Note: When the software ask you to active the Bluetooth DO NOT CANCEL.

I didn't wrote anysteps to follow in the previous post.
But I wrote some steps to install BT successfully in post no 29.
Anyway those steps are for DELL INSPIRON 1525.
I don't know whether it works for Vostro 1014 or not.
Anyway Once try the steps in post no 29 if u r using Windows Vista 32 bit OS.
They may help u to some extent.
Have a Nice Day.
