    I can't seem to get a blue tooth mouse to install on my laptop. I have a Compal HEL81 laptop with built in blue tooth running Vista Home Premium. The blue tooth driver is WIDCOMM 6.0.1.4900. (I know the blue tooth works because I can transfer files from my cell phone to the laptop.)
    The mouse is made by MLK Corp. with firmware ver. 1.41.
    When I try to install it I get a message that there was an error installing it because the INF was written for Win95 or later. The message also shows it as being an USB Browser Mouse. In the Device Manage it is listed as an "Unknown Device" in "Other Devices". The mouse works when I run Ubuntu Linux from a disk and it also works with my desktop with Home Premium. Any suggestions?? Thanks.
