Have you made sure the Bluetooth Adapter is installed?

Right click My Computer,
Properties,
Device Manager,
Hardware tab
Device Manager

There should be an item in the list called Bluetooth or Bluetooth Adapters. If it's not there, you have to install it using the CD that came with the Laptop. If it is there, you need to set the laptop to be discovered by other Bluetooth devices, that can be done by the Bluetooth Software supplied with the Laptop OR the Windows Bluetooth Settings Manager (Control Panel, Bluetooth)

Here is a link that will tell you if your Laptop has BT Technology
