Asus K53SV Bluetooth Problem-- (Windows 8)

G

I have Asus K53SV Laptop. I was using Windows 7 Home Premium that came with it. The Bluetooth worked fine on it. But now I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro. Everything seems to work fine except the Bluetooth. The Windows 7 Driver (Intel ProSET wireless drivers and Atheros Bluetooth Suite) for Bluetooth cites compatibility errors when installed on windows 8.

I frequently used the Bluetooth to transfer files from my laptop to mobile. Now I have to remove the SD card every time.

The Network Adapter in Device Manager shows AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Adapter.

Is there any way I can use the Bluetooth with Windows 8.

Please Help!!

Get the drivers that are for Win 8.

ASUS has not released Drivers for Windows 8. I even e-mailed them about this.

They replied :
"Sorry, we don't officially support win8 on the notebook.
If you want to use win8, you could use Microsoft in-box drivers or drivers for similar models for a try. But we couldn't promise you they would work without any problem."

I too have the same model.Windows update took care of the drivers for me.

That's the solution, get drivers. No matter Windows update or from Asus.

When ever I switch on the Discovery for Bluetooth, the system hangs. Do you have Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator?

Sometimes Windows Update helps and sometimes you can get the drivers from original manufacturer of that product. I mean say if you are using Realtek Audio then you can get Drivers from Realtek also. Got my point ??

But how do I find the manufacturer of my Bluetooth?
I tried searching using Vendor and Product ID. With Product ID, it shows D-Link Adapter and in Device Manager it only shows AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Adapter which is for wifi and bluetooth both.

Windows Update even installs Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and when I right click on Bluetooth icon in the tray -> "Open Setting" -> Check "Allow Bluetooth Devices to find this computer" -> Click "Apply" and as soon as I click the window goes to "Not Responding" and the cursor changes to Processing Icon and nothing happens. I have to shut the RunDLL process from Task Manager.
