I have a BT mouse, and the last day or so its really been playing up big time.

i have posted in another thread about something along the same lines except a BT keyboard (which is now knackered)

the mouse WILL NOT connect to the machine, it goes through the set up and at the final hurdle it loses the connection.

I've tried new batteries, trying the external dongle in every USB port i have etc etc


i really really need help on this its driving me bloody insane (not to mention im moving the cursor around using universal access using the keypad)

thanking you

Have you tried using expensive batteries. I find some of the cheaper brands don't have the voltage needed for these Bluetooth devices. Having said that, USB Bluetooth dongles are the devil so that may be your problem. :(

many thanks for your comments Mr Jew, as a result i have purchased a new BT dongle, the more i think about it the more it points towards this.

again thanks
