How to Setup Wireless Mighty Mouse with Windows XP

Hello everyone.

I received my Mighty Mouse on Monday. Was working fine (after installation) on the MacBook Pro (OS X or Win XP Pro SP2). Under windows, I had to add the hardware using the Bluetooth Devices application. It recongnized it and I was able to use it. The only malfunction was horizontal tracking. The rest of the buttons/functions were as described.

Last night I decided to upgrade Boot Camp to release 1.1. I downloaded, executed, burn the appropriate CD with the new Windows Drivers, and reinstalled the drivers in the Windows partition. Now the BlueTooth application won't recognise my Mighty Mouse. It won't even recognise my Palm.

Anyone with the same problem and a possible solution.

Regards,

I'm using XP with Bootcamp. The Bluetooth control panel will not find the mouse regardless of how often I restart it. Everything works on the mouse except scrolling.

I too cannot get the bluetooth mighty mouse to have scrolling functionality in windows xp. After upgrading the driver set from the 1.1 driver disc, the bluetooth keyboard and mighy mouse nolonger appear as bluetooth devices--instead they are using the MS HID drivers.

Thank buddy, it works perfectly for me.

But when i reboot the system, XP does not detect the mighty mouse. I've to go to control panel --> bluetooth and have to add it again.

Can any body provide the solution for this problem so that I don't need to add every time I boot the system?

Hello people from APPLE?

I am getting mixed reactions here. Could the makers of the wireless mighty mouse clarify that all functions of the wireless mighty mouse can work 100% with no problems on Boot camp Windows XP Professional?


your reply will be greatly appreciated!

I am also having trouble with XP, where after being put on standby, I have to re-add my keyboard to the bluetooth devices. It also takes the mouse a few minutes to be recognized. ANy way we could get these issue resolved? I spent the extra cash to make my life easier, not more difficult.

I have the same problem. I can add the mouse and keyboard (takes a coupla minutes), and thereafter they work pretty well, but anytime I restart windows, the mouse and keyboard stop working and I have to plug in a different mouse to re-pair the BT mouse and keyboard from Apple.

Seeing as I switch back and forth pretty often, this is unacceptable, as I can't be spending 5 minutes to add the wireless keyboard and mightymouse everytime I switch to Windows.

Anyone found a solution to this?

Yes, I've got the solution. You just need to click once (left or right, doesn't matter) from might mouse. And then it will start working in a second.

That doesn't quite work. Any other solutions?

Hello

I have a Sony Vaio FE21M notebook (with bluetooth module on board), I want to buy this beatyfull mouse, but I don't know if it will work with Windows XP SP2.
Anyone can tell me if the Apple Mighty Mouse bluetooth works on my note with Windows?

Thakfull for Your reply.

Sure it'll work, but the results seem to be mixed. The test seems to be what computer you have and what OS you predominantly run. If you have a PC and run windows it'll be much better to get a Microsoft mouse with bluetooth adapter. The mighty mouse seems to be only reliable for Mac OS X on a Mac computer.

Hi, I just got my MacBook Pro Core2Duo. Installed Windows XP, but I could not find 'Bluetooth Devices'in Control Panel. Does anyone can help me!!! I am trying to get my Bluetooth Mighty mouse works on Windows.
Thanks.

Hi PK,
Were you able to resolve your problem with the Apple keyboard and mighty mouse disconnecting from WinXP every time you re-boot? I too am using Boot Camp. I can set the key and mouse to work, but after every restart, I have to set it all up again. Any ideas?
