thank you for reply caperjack,

no it doesn't have Bluetooth built in, I have contacted both Acer and Microsoft and neither seem to want to help.

yes its a Aspire E1-571... I have tried both Broadcom and Atheroes, they both install but do nothing... I have spoken to a local computer specialist and he says there are no Bluetooth drivers out for windows 8.
