    I received my Windows 7 free upgrade disks today, and installed without any problems from Vista Home Premium 64 bit. I have a Vaio FW490. I also installed the Windows 7 companion dvd drivers which came with the Windows 7 DVD. I did an upgrade, not a clean install. Everything ran smoothly, but for some reason my Logitech Bluetooth mouse is no longer recognized. I tried the add wireless device, without any success. I then tried to find the bluetooth drivers in the device manager without success. I would appreciate help in locating which driver I would download from the Sony site.

    Thanks.

    hello,

    just one question: do you have the small "B" icon next to your clock in the taskbar? If you do, left-click on it and then click "add device". Windows will start looking for devices and you can pair your mouse. I think this is slightly different from what you've tried.

    I did it with my mogo mouse and it works perfectly.

    I didn't have a "b" icon, but I checked hidden icons, and there was a "wireless" icon. I hit it and a box popped up to turn wireless on/off and turn bluetooth on/off. The Bluetooth was off. Once I turned it on, it installed the driver and recognized my mouse which still didn't respond. I removed the mouse from installed devices and then had the "add wirelss devices find the mouse. Then everything worked perfectly. This was the only issue I have seen so far in my upgrade to Winodws 7.
