I can't use bluetooth on my Acer Aspire 7520

This computer does not have Bluetooth capabilities and you can't make it, by adding a Bluetooth Driver. It would need a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver HARDWARE built into the computer at the time of manufacture..

Bluetooth perephal device problem on dell inspirion

If you want to connect a Bluetooth peripheral device to a computer, you may need to download a new driver to support it.


There are two approaches to this:

If your Bluetooth device came with a driver on a disc, you can install the driver directly from the disc.


Otherwise, simply connect your computer to the Internet and connect your Bluetooth device to your computer, then wait for Windows to install any required drivers automatically.


You may receive this message when you connect your Bluetooth device to your computer: "Windows needs to install driver software for your Bluetooth peripheral device."

Bluetooth peripheral device driver downloads are easy to locate via any search engine.


Open the CD-ROM drive on the computer and insert the driver disc that shipped with the Bluetooth device.


Wait for a moment to see if the software auto-launches, as most modern software discs do.


If the program does not launch automatically, double-click the "My Computer" icon and then double-click the "CD-ROM drive" icon.


If this does not launch the software but instead opens a file folder, look for a .exe file such as "setup.exe" or "run.exe" and double-click that.


You're looking for a Bluetooth peripheral device driver.


Follow the on-screen prompts, once the software launches, to install the Bluetooth peripheral device drivers on the disc. You may be prompted to restart your computer at the end of the process.


Letting Windows Install the Driver


Make sure Windows is up to date, as most Bluetooth drivers are included in Windows Service Pack updates.


To do this, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, then click the "Start" button in Windows and select "Windows Update" from the program list.


This will launch an Internet Explorer window. Click the "Find Updates" button in the window and wait for Microsoft to search for available updates.

If it recommends any high priority updates, follow the on-screen prompts to install them.


Connect the Bluetooth device to the computer.

There are three ways to do this.


If you have an internal Bluetooth receiver in your computer, just make sure the receiver and your Bluetooth device are turned on and put your device within range of the computer.


If you have a USB Bluetooth receiver, plug it into an available USB port on the computer; then turn on the Bluetooth device and put it within range of the computer.


If you have another type of auxiliary cable, you may also be able to use it to connect your Bluetooth device to the computer without using a Bluetooth connection.


Watch the system tray in the bottom right corner of Windows.


You should see a notification that Windows has detected a Bluetooth device, followed by another notification that the device has been installed properly.


The installation it is referring to is that of the driver. If this does not work as expected, proceed to the next step.


Click the "Start" button in Windows, then click "Control Panel." Launch "Device Manager."


Expand the "Bluetooth Devices" entry in the Device Manager by clicking the plus sign next to it.

Find your Bluetooth device listed under this heading, right-click it and select "Update driver" from the list of options.

Wait as Windows automatically finds and configures any missing Bluetooth peripheral device driver downloads.


Hope this helps

How do i turn on my bluetooth on my emachines pc

Click the "Start" button, then choose "Control Panel," "Network and Internet" then finally "Setup a Bluetooth enabled device."

Power on the Bluetooth Hardware you want to connect to the computer. You must have some sort of hardware to connect to the computer, in order to enable the Bluetooth connection.

Click "Add" and the computer searches for any Bluetooth hardware in the area. Once it detects the hardware, select it and click "Next."

Type in the passkey for the Bluetooth hardware (found in the device's user manual) and click "Next."

Install any drivers now that came with the Bluetooth hardware. (Insert the driver installation CD that comes with the Bluetooth hardware, wait for the the installation wizard to load onto the screen, accept the license agreement, then click "Next" for the installation name and location and select "Install" to install the drivers.)
Choose "Locate and install driver software" if there are provided drivers. If not, click "Don't show this message again for this device" and click "OK."

hope this helps

Can i install a bluetooth in my laptop?

If your laptop have inbuilt bluetooth facility here's how
How to Set up a Bluetooth enabled device To set up a Bluetooth enabled device, you need to do three things:
  1. Add a Bluetooth adapter to your computer.
    This is usually done by plugging the adapter into a USB port. (If a Bluetooth adapter is already built in or attached to your computer, ignore this step.)
  2. Set up the device so that your computer can find it.
    To do this, you must:
    • Turn the device on.
    • Make it discoverable.
    To learn how to make a device discoverable, check the information that came with your device or go to the manufacturer’s website.
  3. Install the device.
    To install most devices, such as a mobile phone, keyboard, mouse, or personal digital assistant (PDA), you can use Bluetooth Devices in Control Panel. If you have Bluetooth wireless technology installed on your computer, follow these steps:
    To install a Bluetooth enabled device
    1. Click the Start button getcontent.aspx?assetid=4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33&documentset=en-us&renderkey=signed1, click Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Bluetooth Devices.
    2. Click Add, and then follow the instructions.
Note
  • Encryption features and a passkey can help to secure your data. However, these and other security measures can be compromised or fail and, if that happens, your data could be visible to or accessible by other devices or computers within range. Therefore, Bluetooth wireless technology should not be considered completely secure.

How do i set up bluetooth connectivity

Hi,

If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3 installed on the computer, then the computer has the Microsoft Bluetooth Protocol Stack. The Microsoft stack allows you to install an external Bluetooth adapter automatically. If the Bluetooth adapter supports the Microsoft stack but it does not install automatically, then you do not have the Microsoft stack on the computer.

>>Make sure that you have installed the HP All-in-One software on the computer.

>>Attach an HP Bluetooth adapter to the front USB port of the HP All-in-One.

>>If you are using an external Bluetooth adapter for the computer, make sure the computer is on and then attach the Bluetooth adapter to a USB port on the computer. If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3 installed, the Bluetooth drivers are installed automatically. If you are prompted to select a Bluetooth profile, select HCRP.

>>
On the Windows taskbar, click Start , and then click Printers and Faxes .

>>Double-click the Add Printer icon.

>>Click Next , and then select A Bluetooth Printer .

>>Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the installation.

>>Print as you would to any printer.


Regards
Riztech.
