Bluetooth not detected in Asus Eee PC 1100PX?

I was given an EeePC for a year, and besides that all the function keys on the keyboard besides the brightness and sleep button aren't working and I can't find drivers for it, but the Bluetooth that is supposed to be included doesn't seem to exist. Instead i see the Atheros Ethernet and Wireless drivers. But I also see a Microsoft Virtual Miniport Adapter which I'm guessing is the Bluetooth with the wrong driver. I found two Bluetooth drivers for the EeePC on Asus' official site, and both of them say there's no Bluetooth device installed. Any ideas? Thanks

Update:

Nicole- I have tried that before, but it fooled me into thinking it's free. Only the scan is free, and I'm not willing to pay for software for a netbook that I only have for a year. Thanks for the answer, though.

Update 2:

Even if i did have a bluetooth button, like i said, most of the function keys do not work. And also like i said, this is not my computer so i don't have the right to format it or even the windows 7 disk.
