Every so often the mouse won't be able to connect, so I have to reinstall it. That happened again today, but my computer won't even fucking recognize that the mouse is there. What's the problem, and how do I fix it?

Replies sakurag Posted at 9:47 am on July 1, 2008 Hey, you and me both.  I have a Vista Lenovo Thinkpad and the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse (the white one without any adapter). I find that if I leave the mouse on and then close my laptop, boom, the mouse doesn't work if I turn it back on.  This is absolutely frustrating, as my macbook has no such issues.. (hopefully BT will be better in the future). But, this is what you want.. some sort of easier solution.  I have a little switch on my computer that turns off and on the wireless and bluetooth radios (this might be a switch or a Fn+Key for you).  I find that if I turn it off then on, it will cause the Bluetooth to cycle and my mouse will work again. It's a whole lot easier than reinstalling.. See if that works.   Jay JWLH Posted at 4:09 am on June 25, 2008 That depends on the mouse you are using.

Have you tried bluesoleil? Works brilliantly for me! Frenchie3477 Posted at 7:34 pm on June 19, 2008 I dunno, but Vista always fucks up when i dont update it regularly, so try that. or is there an owners manual on the bluetooth? afmc011 Posted at 12:14 pm on June 17, 2008 Indeed you can. It has the switch, then the blue button that you press so it's easier for the computer to detect. The mouse is typically used by business people, I believe. Since it's technically called a "travel mouse". Might be why you haven't heard of it, haha. mycuteFIEND Posted at 12:10 pm on June 17, 2008 Bluetooth mouse? I've never heard of it. Can you turn the bluetooth on and off on the mouse? All 6 previous replies displayed.
