Bluetooth Mouse problems

[Kaleyen]

I know it doesn't relate to EQ2 much, but I do use the mouse to play <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  So here goes, hopefully I can get some help here.I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth and when I came home tonight and jumped on my PC I had a little pop up message on my desktop saying that my mouse batteries are low and I need to change them.  Prior to changing the batteries my mouse worked just fine, however after I put new batteries in it stopped responding all together.  I tried to put the old batteries back in and no response from that either.So when I go to Start --> Control Panel --> Bluetooth Devices My mouse isn't listed.  So I'll proceed to add the new device and it detects it just fine, however the mouse still doesn't respond.The interesting thing is when I close out of Bluetooth Devices and reopen it from the control panel my newly added mouse device isn't there.I have proceeded to add this device about 5 times now or so, and everytime I close out of the Bluetooth Device window and reopen it my device isn't there.Any ideas?

In all cases it requires the bluetooth device to be registered to the pc/phone. When you replaced the batteries you shutdown the relationship. Check back on the documenation and follow the instructions on how to reconnect the device to the PC.</p><p>Might try this </p><li>Open Bluetooth Devices, and then click <b>Add</b>.Bluetooth Devices is a Control Panel item that you can use to add, remove, or customize Bluetooth devices.

And I have DL'd and installed the latest drivers for the mouse from Microsoft's website.To sum it all up...*Mouse was working fine last night when I got home from work*Had a message that batteries were low and to change them*Changed the batteries and the mouse stopped responding*Put back the old batteries and mouse still doesn't respond*Put the new batteries back into the mouse*Went to the Control Panel -- > Bluetooth Devices --> Add --> Went through the Bluetooth connection wizard*The connection wizard found my bluetooth mouse*My mouse still doesn't respond even though the wizard found the mouse and established a connection*The mouse is on my Bluetooth Device list*I close the Bluetooth Device list*I re-open the Bluetooth Device list*My mouse isn't listed*I click Add and go through the connection wizard again*This process keeps repeatingSo my PC recognizes my mouse, shows the connection is there but my mouse still doesn't respond.  After I go through the connection wizard and my mouse is listed under the Bluetooth Devices and then close out of the Bluetooth Devices and re-open it seconds later my mouse is no longer listed under the Bluetooth Devices.

Might be time to call MS support on it.
