My MS wireless mouse (the kind with the little dongle you plug into the USB port) just croaked, so I bought a new wireless mouse. I decided to go Bluetooth so I could skip the dongle, which takes up a valuable USB port and gets in the way. I picked up an HP Bluetooth Laser Mobile Mouse, primarily because I have an HP laptop, but also because that's the only one I saw at BestBuy and I didn't want to shop around. I got the thing home and got the driver software installed. Then I tried to run the HP Easy Pair software to pair the mouse. No luck, the software complains that btcoreif.dll is missing and refuses to run. Huh. So I open the Help file for the mouse from the CD, and it tells me to pair the mouse manually using the Bluetooth manager. So I put the mouse in pairing mode and try to add it. Vista finds the mouse and asks me about using a passkey. The docs say no passkey, so I say no passkey. Vista does its thing and says that the mouse is paired and ready to be used. Only the mouse "pairing mode light" is still blinking, and moving the mouse around doesn't do squat. Vista thinks the mouse is paired, but the mouse is clueless. Lots of additional attempts later, the mouse is still not talking to Vista. So I move over to my Ubuntu desktop and ask it to add the mouse. It finds the mouse and pairs it within 5 seconds, and the mouse works. MSFT should be ashamed, and it leads me to the conclusion that Vista Must Die. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:289508 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
