    Hi!

    I have had a horrible experience trying to get my truemobile 355 bluetooth adapter, to work with a bluetooth Logitech Dinovo Edge keyboard, Vista HP

    I get the keyboard to connect just fine, however, after I put the notebook to sleep (1720), the bluetooth adapter goes missing from my computer, even in the device manager.

    I read that choosing the option for "allow windows to turn this device off to save power" would help, but I have no such option under driver properties.

    Also, sometimes when resuming from standby, the adapter would be disabled in the device manager, saying that windows could not start the device since it was having problems (Driver failed to load or something like that...)

    So far I have used the Vista included driver, and the latest driver available through Dell, but no go with either.

    Please help me find a new driver (beta?) or a solution for this damn thing!

    No go with either program.

    I still have the "device reported a problem" in the device manager after "sleep" mode.

    Removing the device fixes the problem. I'm tired of doing that though!

    Thanks for your help guys!

    Orion,
    I have the exact same problem with my Bluetooth mouse. I found this link this morning:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929734/en-us

    If you read the symptoms they talk about our problem.

    I have not tried any of the hotfixes yet because I'm currently on business trip and don't want to mess with the computer too much because I need it for work.

    If you have any success let me know.....
