I got a Mx 5000 BT(bluetooth) keyboard/mouse set and after the update my logitech program just lost sight of the whole mouse

My mouse still works thankfully but without any of the extra buttons but more importantly the SCROLL!

Anyonee else facing this problem or better yet found aSOLUTION?

I can't even get mine to do anything. If you choose to turn on the BlueTooth discovery on, it will give you an error. I hope they fix this soon.

Is there a way go back to my last BootCamp update? I'd like to use my bluetooth mouth once again.

If you have your old drivers, reinstall them, and it should work fine. That's what I did. My mouse seems to be workin' perfectly. Good luck to you all.

Same problem with my Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer for BT.

I tried reinstalling IntelliPoint to no avail... :/

Did you try reinstalling the old Macintosh drivers?

So... remove the mouse driver and reinstall Bootcamp Drivers?

I'll give it a try.

ok - i have the BT510 mouse and the same problem.

I hate to say this, but bootcamp is still beta.

I did notice that the 'old' devices hadn't been updated, but appeared to have been added again and this was causing conflicts.

So my solution was simple.....:eek:

I formatted the windows partition and did a clean install (after removing all the important files of course) and the mouse installed first time.
Another 2 hours of my life wasted, but until Bootcamp comes out of beta, i think that we should get used to re-installing windows :mad:

Formatting my hard drive is not what I call a solution :]

No. Reinstalling Windows early and often is what you do when you run Windows. :( Even when Boot Camp comes out of Beta, you will be reinstalling Windows often. Good Apple hardware does not make Windows good.
