I'm using an MX1000 and I'm hoping this will fix a couple of problems:

a) The mouse randomly disconnects while gaming, and it's very involved getting it to reconnect.

b) It behaves very strangely following a system standby with the Dell drivers.

So I click Cancel and it detects a COM port and a Communications Port and a couple Audio things, but nothing that would indicate that I could connect my mouse. What's my next move?

Also, although I can't get to that step yet, I don't have the Logitech dongle. Is that going to be a crippling problem in trying to use my MX1000?

Update: There's now a Bluetooth icon in my tray again, but upon Right Click it says "Bluetooth Device not found." Also, there is an unknown BCM2045 in the device manager.

Bad news is that it doesn't work properly on CSR based adapters (like the BT350)...

Also there's new Toshiba release.

Version: 4.20.01(T) if anyone wants to give it a shot.

1. Download the 4.20.01(T) bluetooth stack from http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/...s&download=3ww
2. Run the installer. Tell it to ignore the Windows driver warnings. After a while, it will tell you to press Fn+F2 to turn on the Bluetooth card. Even if your wireless functions are on, it will keep prompting you. So go ahead and cancel out of the installation.
3. Reboot
4. Go to your device manager (right click on My Computer->Properties, select the Hardware tab, press Device Manager). (Or Start menu->Run->devmgmt.msc)
5. In the Universal Serial Bus Controllers list there should be one that is marked by a yellow warning triangle. Double click it. It'll say that the device driver isn't installed. Keep this window open for a bit, you'll need it later.
5.9 Backup C:\WINDOWS\inf\tosrfusb.inf in case you mess it up in the next step. Not that it'll do you much good now anyway.
6. Edit C:\WINDOWS\inf\tosrfusb.inf in Notepad or equiv. Where it says Rfusb_DellDevice (%TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc87%=Rfusb_DellDevice, USB\VID_413C&PID_8120) replace that with "%TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc87%=TosrfUsb_Device, USB\VID_413C&PID_8103". (no quotes) Find all instances of "8120" and replace them with "8103".
7. Save the file.
8. You might need to trash tosrfusb.pnf. Maybe.
9. Go back to that device window you opened earlier. Click the Install Driver button. Let it search automatically. It'll find two matches. Pick the second one ("Dell Bluetooth USB adapter").
10. There might be some other associated "fake" devices that the Toshiba stack will ask you install after installing the driver. Let it install them. Hopefully things work. If you don't have a blue antenna icon in your systray, you might need to reboot.

Moo.

I have followed the directions and installed 3 diffrent bluetooth stacks, and all have worked equaly, which is to say, not well at all.

Now in all fairness, i'm not connecting a mouse, but a phone/Palm PC device.

I gave up and went back to the USB cable. :/
