Ihave an Advent 4211 (MSI Wind). The bluetooth light comes on BUT there is no entry in Control Panel (XP) for Bluetooth devices also running services.msc doesn't list bluetooth. Running fsquirt does start the file transfer dialogue but that's not what I want to do. Help appreciated.

The final answer to the problem was that Acer use bluetooth (or a form of it) for the mic inbuilt into the laptop. Hence, everything says I have bluetooth, but I actually don't have it.

I know we have different brands of laptop, but it is more than feasible that Advent have done this the same way.

The only way I could sort my problem out was to purchase a bluetooth dongle - problem sorted, eventually :D

Hope this is of some help
