Apple bluetooth mouse in windows? Anyone?

[Compman55]

I am unable to get my mouse to work in windows vista or win7. Has anyone had luck?

If I try, and windows finds it, it simple will not pair. After all this, it will not work with OS X either unless I go thru the whole pairing procedure all over again.

Install bootcamp tools from the Snow Leopard DVD, then install the Bootcamp tools 3.1 update from:

32bit: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL996

I have SL and XP sp2, just paired the bt magic mouse with XP on Sunday to play Torchlight. Used the BT manager in the control panel. Lots of tab, shift tab, etc until I got it all to work. No passkey, but you do have to direct windows to load the human input device stuff. Also, it stays paired with both OS X and XP.

Good luck 🙂

Is this going to help a regular PC desktop (Vista 64) use the magic mouse?

Also, I'm wanting to get a USB bluetooth dongle for use with the Magic Mouse on this same PC. Is there anything I should watch for when getting one?

Scrolling vertically and horizontally works.

Problems:
occasionally cuts out (freezes for a few seconds)
two finger gestures for forward and back does not work 🙁
