Welcome to Geekzone...

Is it "Integrated Bluetooth" or "Bluetooth ready?". If it's Integrated Bluetooth then you should not need anything else.

Is the Bluetooth on? I think the drivers are there but Windows will only install these when the hardware is switched on. There should be a function key for this, or a switch.

Other than this, if you don't have the software then it should be back to Acer's customer support.
