I am unable to enable the bluetooth capabilities of my acer aspire 5745 laptop. I've reinstalled the driver from the driver disc and following the instruction of pressing the Fn+F3 keys together to enable the bluetooth capabilities.But it's not working. Please help.

I've encountered a situation on my acer aspire 3680 where in Windows 8 Prerelease, I had to download and install the proper video driver from the acer.com website to allow it to have full resolution. Maybe try this for the Bluetooth and video controller problem, if you can even see the screen in windows 7.

Both of these driver's can be obtained from http://www.laptop-software.com/acer-software/acer-aspire-5730-5730g-5730z-5730zg-driver-and-software/
If your laptop has Bluetooth capability, there will be a white sticker on the bottom with the Bluetooth logo. Some models have a switch that must be turned on to activate it. If your laptop doesn't have Bluetooth built in, you can purchase an adapter that plugs into your USB. I use http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-bluetooth-v3-0-usb-2-0-dongle-71248, it's about $5 with free shipping and I've never had any issues with it on my Dell.

Your computer may not actually have Bluetooth capability. Bluetooth is one of those features that is "on certain models only", according to Acer's site. My daughter's Aspire has a Bluetooth switch on it, and Bluetooth drivers on the CD, but no Bluetooth card is installed. I discovered this when I opened her computer to see why the Bluetooth wasn't working. I've found this to be true for several other models since. This strikes me as misleading and possibly false advertising, but I'm not an attorney.

The only way I have ever found to be sure if the computer has Bluetooth is to open it up and look on the board. Depending on how new "new" is, your computer might still be under warranty so you probably shouldn't bother. Instead, you can try contacting the retailer where you purchased the machine and see if they offer warranty service. Or follow the process given in your manual or on Acer's site for obtaining service. Then if your model does have Bluetooth installed they can fix it, or you'll know for sure it wasn't installed. Then you can buy a USB Bluetooth adapter.

Check your Device Manager to make sure you computer has Bluetooth capability. If there is no Bluetooth in your control panel, you may have to install the drivers and use the software. You can download the drivers and software from here for the 4810T:
