Hi,

I am unable to get my Bluetooth USB adptapter to work with windows 8 and find my bluetooth headphones. The adapter comes with the win 8 drivers installed so it supposed to be plug and play.

When I plug in the adapter nothing happens, I do do not get the bluetooth icon in the taskbar (it is there when i try it on my win 7 laptop). When I go to device manager it shows that I have a bluetooth adapter with the following drivers: "generic bluetooth radio" and "Microsoft bluetooth Enumerator".

When I am in the win 8 device manager i can see the generic bluetooth radio is there but when I search for devices I cannot find anything, I have also tried searching for my phone but nothing happens.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Thanks
