I had a similar problem on my mac pro machine. running osx 10.4.10 - i can get the mighty mouse and wireless apple keyboard to be recognized in windows... have to go to bluetooth setup in the control panel - similar to setting up in mac... however my problem is that when you switch between the two platforms the mighty mac and keyboard have to be set up each time you go to windows... it's as if it doesn't remember them or can't locate them... so switching back to corded keyboard and mouse I think... not too much help sorry...
I have Vista on Boot Camp side of a MacBook Pro and I can get MIghty Mouse to be recognized in the Blutooth setup in Vista same as for the Mac but it doesn't work nor does it show up in the Mouse Control Panel in Vista - anybody have any luck wioth Vista set up for bluedtooth mouse and keyboard?
Mighty Mouse just arrived two days ago from Apple User Group Center - here is my issue:
MM is discovered in MAC environ. & not in the windows <boot camp> environ.
The same with wireless keyboard at first, but then it was just a matter of turning on and off the keyboard to be discovered I guess, I tried everything with the mighty wireless mouse & nothing.
Where can I search to find somewhere to enter preferences on the windows environ to try and fix issue?
I have a MacBook and BootCamp installed. I am running Windows Vista on the Windows side. I am able to pair and use Apple's Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse with the built-in Bluetooth on the Mac. I'll post directions to pair the two devices and enable services.

This should do it! Sorry for all the steps, but I wanted to be sure to get all them for everybody.
Your procedure is working relly fine...but when i reboot my MacBook Pro or turn off my mighty mouse, i must set it up agan. Vista cant detect the wireless mighty mouse alone.
It's look like he cant remember the security key or something like that.
Same problem here. I am using Windows Vista and Windows can recognize the mouse properly, but it stops working everytime i restart the computer. Does anyone has any info regarding it?
Thanks.
I have crawled several discussions and support pages and here it is, this simple and unintuitive solution to this massively irritating problem. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I appreciate the posts, and I was able to get my BT Apple keyboard to work just fine, but I cannot get the MM to work with XP at all, even after enabling the services and even rebooting. The mouse simply does nothing at all.
