Here's my final on this, you can dismiss the window with command-w. I turned off the bt mouse on my IMac and when it started, the window did come up and it was unreadable but I was able to uncheck the bluetooth assistant at start up checkbox.

If you are using a bluetooth mouse or keyboard as that specific input device instead of wired ones, you will get that warning and may not be allowed to make that change. If you are using a bluetooth input device and it is not detected, I guess we need to get at the cause. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Poehlman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS Xby theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2008 6:49 AM Subject: Re: bluetooth setup assistant interesting. perhaps it is looking for a mouse?
