Acer aspire 5742z windows 7 laptop how to find out if bluetooth is disabled

[collidog]

Hello,
We have repeatedly tried to access Bluetooh on the above laptop but there is a problem. We cannot find the exact nature of the difficulty. All we want is to connect a mobile phone to the laptop using Bluetooth.

'Start', key in 'Device', In Control Panel select 'Device Manager'. Expand 'Network Adapters' and check to see if your Bluetooth is present. If not, you either don't have Bluetooth or it needs to be installed.
