Never spent much time exploring the control panel section other than to trouble shoot something but the Vista feature that lets u group panels by category is pretty good. Too bad the same old confusing dialogue boxes keep appearing. There are two control panels in my PC for Blue-tooth and Tablet that I had not seen before. Does this mean that my PC is Blue-tooth capable? or Tablet capable?

Hi mayagrafix, are you using a laptop or a desktop? I think these features (well Blue-tooth) came with SP2. Could you give us the make and model of your PC. Thx, Matt

You will be tablet compatible, but maybe not Bluetooth (check in the BIOS for that).

Thanks pointing out to look in the bios. I have no idea if this PC is blue tooth capable or not (Duhhh!) since it is a older Dell 530 (one year old) and no longer listed on the manufacturers site. BTW, what is tablet compatible? is it like home base for your tablet if u should choose to have one?

This is a Dell 530 desktop with Vista Home Basic SP2. The Dell 530 comes in many different flavors, some with blue-tooth, some with wireless networking, some with RAID etc. and Dell changes the model features all the time to further complicate matters, but to their credit this little Dell has been a good PC so far with no problems or a BSOD since I first plugged it in :)

You can connect by wireless, or USB , or by other methods, (but check the model for exact details)
