Bluetooth Mighty Mouse Problems

My wireless Mighty Mouse that I ordered with my Mac Pro has very inconsistent performance no more that 4 feet from the tower. It seems to stick and stutter regardless of the surface. The problem disappears and then reappears. Have ensured that all old drivers have been removed and have gone as far as doing and archive and reinstall of OS X. I have tried third party mouse software to no avail. The strange thing is that it appears to work well with my 14" iBook G4. Any ideas/help?

Mac Pro 2.66 2GB, 500 GB HD, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Look in your System Preferences / Bluetooth and click on the Sharing tab.

I find that if "Bluetooth File Transfer on" is indeed on, my Mighty Mouse works as expected. When sharing is stopped, then it is erratic once again.

Yes, this opens up a security hole. You will probably want to change the "Folder other devices can browse," or leave only as the "Public" folder.

My mouse is about 4 ft from the from of my CPU.

I had turned off Bluetooth File Transfer, thinking I was making the computer more secure.
