There is a specific piece of software you can get from the acer website after you put in the serial number that will enable these features.

if you have a system restore disk, restore the settings back to the factory presets. XP System restore could help you, but the restore disk is usually the end result

Sounds like you need the driver installed for the bluetooth...here is a link to the Acer site with drivers for your model:

http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_one_D250.html

Just select the bluetooth driver from the first drop-down menu and install it, that should solve your problem.

Hope this helped
