If you need drivers try your System Maker's support site and/or the actual device maker's site.

BluetoothView is a small utility that runs in the background, and monitor the activity of Bluetooth

devices around you. For each detected Bluetooth device, it displays the following information:

Device Name, Bluetooth Address, Major Device Type, Minor Device Type, First Detection Time,

Last Detection Time, and more. BluetoothView can also notify you when a new Bluetooth device

is detected, by displaying a balloon in your taskbar or by playing a small beep sound. - FREEhttp://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bluetooth\_viewer.html

Normally you would get the drivers from Dells Drivers and Downloads site.  I went there but it appears they only have Vista drivers for the Studio 1535 -- and that's likely what you already tried from your disk.  Here is the link: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=STUDIO1535&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=

That shows that the Studio 1535 had a "Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Minicard" so I then did a search on that and found the following list, one of which is Windows 7 but shows as compatible with 2 laptops other than what you have.  Might be worth a try.  Here is a link to the search I did: http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?s=dhs&c=us&l=en&cs=19&k=wireless+370&cat=sup&x=0&y=0
