    I am confused as to whether or not my new laptop has internal bluetooth. It has the bluetooth logo on F6, but nothing happens when I use Fn F6. It is not in my system tray either. Someone else told me I just needed to download the driver for it and it will work. Anyone know more about this.

    Thanks! Koulgurl

    Go to gateway.com, near the middle look at drivers. Put your serial number in, next page find bluetooth drivers...Install them...

    Or go to Start-> My computer-> (Right click) Properties ->Hardware tab-> Device Manager and look for it

    Hi! Thanks for the help, but I cannot find the Hardware Tab...I am using Vista (and very new to it). Will it hurt my computer if I install a driver that I do not need?
