Bluetooth with Acer C110, Razr, and k700i

Dec 23, 2005 9:56AM PST

Hello, I own the following hardware:

Acer Travelmate C110 Tablet
Motorola Razr
Sony Erricson K700i

All hardware has bluetooth. I can send and recieve files perfectly between the two phones, but I have a problem with the Acer. I've installed the Bluetooth Utility from Acer's site, and configured it. (Correctly I hope) I use the Acer to search for the phones, yet it cannot find them. Distance between all items is at maximum one foot. Heck, I've even stacked the phones on top of the Acer. The bluetooth seems to be working correctly, as it takes up about 10 COM ports. But, there is one problem: The utility says it cannot locate the Acer's actual Bluetooth hardware, saying it may be missing a driver, be disable via the keyboard, or is malfunctioning. The drivers are installed, I'm sure of that. It seems to be enabled from the Bluetooth light that is on the computer, and I don't think it is malfunctioning. I can't seem to find the reason why the Acer cannot find the other hardware, or even locate the actual Bluetooth device in the computer. I've tried searching for the phones using the Acer, but it can't find them. Is there something I missing?
