Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / May 2008reconnect blue tooth mouse
I only have one blue tooth mouse and using it for both my office laptop (XP) and home pc (Vista). to reconnect the mouse on xp, I just simply need to right click on the blue tooth icon, and select reconnect the blue tooth device again. but on the vista, it seems to me the option is not given. Everytime I have to actually remove the mouse, and reinstall it again to get it work. Is there any good suggestion? On the Vista computer, try configuring it for Software-managed Bluetooth mode: From the Help: Advanced Bluetooth settings If you have a Microsoft Bluetooth transceiver, you can choose whether the wireless connection is managed by the software or by the hardware. Changing Advanced Bluetooth settings Start IntelliPoint. On the Buttons tab, make sure that the mouse you are using is selected under Connected device. Select the Wireless tab. Under Bluetooth, click Advanced. Software-managed Bluetooth mode Use this mode when you share a mouse between multiple computers. The software is configured automatically each time you start the computer. You can move your mouse and the Microsoft transceiver to another computer without installing the software or reconfiguring the device. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hardware-managed Bluetooth mode Use this mode when you use your mouse with one computer. Your transceiver behaves like a standard Bluetooth radio when you start your computer and results in no delay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope that helps:  SignatureCathy Moya Microsoft Hardware User Experience www.microsoft.com/hardware This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties and confers no rights. >I only have one blue tooth mouse and using it for both my office laptop >(XP) [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > there > any good suggestion?

I am just curious; in XP I don't need to install the driver. And everytime I just need to go find the mouse in the bluetooth setting window and right click and select the "connect." However, Vista seems remove this function. So without the mouse driver, the only option is re-install the device everytime. Vista definitely should keep this function! Mouse is mouse, I don't need to install a driver comes with other fancy settings. > Ah, sorry, I don't know about the Logitech settings. > [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > >> > there > >> > any good suggestion? |
