Frets on Fire Bluetooth Wiimote to Dell 350 Wireless

Just a quick post for anyone trying to get Frets on Fire to work on a Dell XPS M1530 Laptop with the built in Bluetooth, then using GlovePIE to control FoF.
I had a problem with this setup - the symptom was that I got the Wiimote synchronized and the GlovePIE script worked for 5 to 30 seconds, but then the synch was lost and it disconnected. I suspected some sort of timeout issue.

Anyhow I solved this problem by downloading and installing some new (I assumed they were new) Dell drivers for Bluetooth.

Driver file name: R142181

Hope this helps someone when Googling for a solution to the same issue!
