Bluetooth Mouse won't Auto Connect?

So I'm trying to install a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 to use with my Acer 3820 and Acer 5920G laptops. I have to use an external bluetooth adaptor (some el cheapo thingy that works fine, don't recall the brand).

When I install the mouse on either computer after plugging in the bluetooth adaptor, everything works fine, but when I shut down and reboot, or just unplug the bluetooth adaptor and plug it back in, the mouse no longer works even though the adaptor works fine and the mouse shows up as functioning in hardware. I have to delete the device and "find" it again everytime.

Anyone have any clue? I'm running Windows 7...

Thanks and Happy New Year's guys!

 

odd. I have had issues like this with some of my devices before in similar matters. My best guess is its OS/device adapter/drivers....soooo....


1. Your OS is conflicting with something and dropping the "my saved device" settings and errors are according requiring you rescrape and restart over.

2. device adapter is doing something of a similar nature and is screwing it up.

3. device drivers are bad and either need to be completely reinstalled or they are junk bad and your screwed and its a bad product.


These are my BEST GUESSES I know very little about bluetooth and it causes nothing but frustration because it is a great technology with the WORST device drivers and coding and programing known to MAN!!!!


and bump because i have no idea if i am right...someone smart/more informed know anything helpful?

In my cause it is OS/OS drivers need to be installed because it worked before but after reinstalling windows my bluetooth is ever more fudged. For you figure out where the problem is....its kind ahard to understand what your explaining. Are you using an after market adapter? <-that might be the problem. If your using integrated bluetooth in labtop/desktop do other devices work? if so or not go from there....i assume your smart enough to understand the rest on breaking down the process of seeing where the break down is.

Last thing for simplicity can you put a

1mouse
2??
3adapter?
4usb???
5computer

this will help us see break doiwn and all devices/possible breaks in connection
install any drivers for mouse?

 

Odd but I figured it out. In the properties for the bluetooth radio under advanced you have to remove the dash from the name given there (eg "Steve-pc"). Once that dash is removed it works fine. Found that fix online. How weird is that!?

wow.....simply wow....that is retard. at least you figured it out -_-

 

Agreed. Ended up having to do the exact same thing on both laptops. The Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 wouldn't work without removing the dash.
