    I would like to know if it is just my computer or not. I am constantly getting disconnections from my BT mouse, sometimes it goes to sleep and doesn't reconnect, or sometimes it just loses connection in the middle. I have used a Logitech BT mouse for over 3 years until it died. Then I got a Dell BT mouse and it is still the same thing.

    However, when I connect my phone to the computer via BT it does not feel like there are any disconnections. I connect it once, and then a while later it is still connected and I can still access it.

    I don't want to use a wireless mouse with a USB connection since it takes up a port. But what the hell is good about a mouse that I constantly need to turn off and on, or in some cases turn off BT on my computer and back on to get the mouse going?

    I've tried looking for power options for the BT device in Control Panel in WinXP but count find anything.

    Is there a fix?
