New purchased Aspire 5100 with Dual Core AMD 64 from Circuit City. According to specs it has built in bluetooth 2.0. I have a switch on front but when I flick it on, no light comes on, and it says "No Bluetooth Device" on the screen a moment. I do not have Bluetooth device listed in Device Manager. When I try and use it through Control Panel it says "Windows cannot find any Bluetooth devices. Make sure that your Bluetooth adapter is attached to your computer and is turned on, and that your Bluetooth device is turned on." When I try and install latest software from Acer site (Bluetooth 6.0.1.3600.zip) the install fails and it says "No Bluetooth device was detected. Please make sure that your Bluetooth device is plugged in properly in order to continue installation". Is "device" the part inside my laptop or the wireless headphones I'm trying to pair?

I've tried Acer's site, which doesn't even give options for if you live in USA, most links I tried for Europe Support are broken.
