    Hi~

    Well the bluetooth 370 paired with my "MS bluetooth notebook mouse 5000" once. And hasn't since.

    I put the mouse into pairing mode, click the 'add ...' button, starts the detect and pffft. nada.

    I've tried pairing other devices as well and it's always the same. "Windows cannot find any bluetooth devices. Make sure your bluetooth adapter is attached to your computer and turned on, and that your bluetooth device is turned on."

    I can see my xps 1340 from my bluetooth cell phone and my axim pda, so I'd guess the bluetooth stack is working (?)

    I've re-installed the 370 driver software from the dell driver site. Still the same.

    can't think of anything else, all the right boxes seem to be checked- can't think of anything else I can do to troubleshoot.
    TIA
