Problem with MS Presenter 8000 Mouse on SZ48

I've tried it like a dozen times (installing, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers) but no luck; the stupid intellipoint (v6.1) stops operating and/or closes abruptly everytime I try to connect it via bluetooth (i have no problems getting the initial link-up but its when I try to get a constant connection). :cry:

I installed the recommended Update for Windows Vista Hardware 6.0 (KB925528) first. Then installed the IntelliPoint 6.1 32-bit for Vista software (both downloaded from the MS support website).

When it came to pairing the two devices, no problems. Then when Vista wanted to install the hardware drivers, also no problems. But when it came to making a constant connection between the two (and yes the mouse was switched on and bluetooth was active on my laptop), the little box comes up saying that the 'intellipoint software has stopped working or needs to restarted' or else I get the error that says 'the drivers found have been created for use with Win95 or higher and are incompatible for use with this computer' - what the?!?!?

This happens everytime!! :cry:
Can someone help or have suggestions? thx

 

ok, so i've tried to use the widcomm bluetooth stack ... but the stupid error re. Win 95 INF keeps coming up (same as before) help someone

 

Got a solution to my problem ... thx to 'hailaletterbox'
