ACER LAPTOP TRAVELMATE 2200 SERIES

Hello all.
a quick question & answer I hope.
I recently bought an Acer Travelmate 2200 series laptop.
On the front panel there is a bluetooth indicator that blinks on initial
bootup.Suggesting that bluetooth might be installed. However, when a
bluetooth device is present, nothing is found.
The owners manual is vague. it says bluetooth (optional)
I've e mailed Acer for advice, and got nothing back.
Has anyone else got such laptop and have they had the same problem.

Cheers
John

Quick answer: Check if you have a Bluetooth device installed.

Right click on "My Computah" icon and select "properties".
Pick the "hardware" tab.
Pick "Device Manager".
Look at the list of devices under "Network".
Is there a Bluetooth device listed? It will show up even if it's
disabled.

If you suspect there may be a device driver or hardware detection
issue, where the Device Manager shows an "Unknown Device" in the list,
then download "Unknown Devices" utilies and see what they report:
