    Hey guys,

    I use a Dell travel bluetooth mouse (PU705) which works fine in Win 7, other than the scroll wheel and the side buttons not working. I couldn't find any drivers for this mouse, and i'm out of ideas.

    What do you thing?

    probably for the next update it should work. My keyboard with the hotkeys doesn't work either.

    I was able to get this problem fixed by downloading the original Dell bluetooth software (for vista) It installed fine in Win 7, and the Widcomm stack seems to have added proper mouse drivers.

    Everything works now.
