    I don't think the MX1000 is bluetooth, it's going to require you use the RF dongle.

    Did a little more googling, and it seems that there are two different MX1000's, one using radio frequency (RF) and another using bluetooth.

    If you're saying that it used to work without the bluetooth dongle, then it means that your laptop has built in bluetooth. After you reformat, you need to install the drivers for the bluetooth card.

    Go to the manufacturers homepage to get the drivers.
