Cannot connect bluetooth mouse to Windows 7 - help!

weird. it has finally decided to pair with the computer after multiple failed attempts. its working now so hope it works next time i turn it on! guess this thing may roll on and on. Maybe the services change you suggested Rik will resolve the issue (saw some postings about this around n about - must admit it was about a year ago i last looked around to try and find a resolution!)

Guess I'll go try it on my other laptops, see how I get on

Thanks folks!

My last try:

One additional step I needed was I had an existing Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse showing in Control Panel Devices. I needed to delete that, then select "add device".

As you've tried across multiple win7 machines, other BT kit works, and the mouse is explicitly win 7 compatible, then is it possible its faulty?

May turn out to be the mouse (it was a refurb so may be errant itself - but given the volume of other folk that have had very similar problems with the same mouse on their W7 computers.... guess it'll be hard to tell!),
But as I say, working at the moment :-)
