I ran out and got a wiimote after seeing this but I can't get it working with my new Dell :( I've found windows bluetooth drivers have a tendency to be extremely fussy over the connection process. I reckon this is becuase the wiimote doesn't pair with the other bluetooth device - it simply connects. I've not tried other platforms. If you are using windows, try little things like starting the process from the right-click context menu of the bluetooth system tray icon, rather than the desktop/my-computer link (or vis-versa). Ridiculous, but it does seem to help in the case of some of the belkin USB bluetooth dongles I've tried :-) Matt -- | Matt Hammond | Research Engineer, FMT, BBC, Kingswood Warren, Tadworth, Surrey, UK | http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/ - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
