bluetooth wont turn on without acer epowermanagement

[jorpe]

Acer c314 with ultimate 7600 x86. It has bluetooth but it will only turn on via the epowermanagement tool, which will not work in Windows 7 except for the first time you install it. After that, trying to start the program gets a compatiblity message no matter what compatibility you try to run it with. Is there a way for me to enable bluetooth by default?

Is there a W7 version of the tool on the manufacturer's website?

not that I have been able to locate, there seemed to be some serious issues according to what I skimmed trying to figure out whether or not it would work for win7

What's showing under your Bluetooth device in Device Manager? Can you screnshot?

I can run the file EPM-DM and manually change the bluetooth to on, but the EPM program will crashes everything.

When I right click on the icon on the notifications tray there's a bunch of what look like chinese characters I have no clue what they say.

Unless I manually start epm-dm as an admin in compatibility mode with xp sp2 I cant get anything to start and there is no bluetooth radio icon in device manager.

Same Problem with Acer Extensa 3100

Hi there,

I installed Windows 7 on an Acer Extensa 3100 Notebook. When I start Windows, the Bluetooth Hardware is switched off by default. In Device Manager it is not shown at all, just as if it would not exist. When I install Acer ePowerManagement, the Program first runs correctly, I can activate Bluetooth and all devices shown in the BT environment. But when I shut down the system and boot up again, the service terminates at once when started. But when I start the setup again and choose the repair-option, everythings all right again until next shutdown.

Does anyone have an idea what I could do?

Thanks by Alex
