    I had never used the Bluetooth on my Acer Aspire 4752, when I came to use it I noticed I didn't have any install's associating with Bluetooth.

    I searched on Google and came across a Bluetooth program called Atheros, trouble is it doesn't work and keeps uninstalling on it's on.

    Can anybody tell me a compatible Bluetooth software I could possibly use for my Acer Aspire 4752.

    Many Thanks.

    Looks like it could be either an Atheros or Broadcom Bluetooth chip in your laptop by looking at the Acer website ( Acer | Download ). And with how the Atheros driver is behaving I'd suspect it's probably a Broadcom one. Try downloading and running Broadcom's WIDCOMM installer and see if that works ( Bluetooth Software Download | Broadcom ).
