    So I just installed Windows XP on my MBP and the mouse started working after the intial install but now it wont work at all. The bluetooth devices says that it is connected but I cant get it to work.

    Any help would be great. The Mouse is a Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse. It works in Mac but not in Windows

    Thanks

    -Ive already searched and found the most recent thread about this and I tried what it said in there and it didnt work. I wasnt able to find any new drivers so if thats the problem if someone has a link that would be great.

    Have you tried disabling and then re-enabling the Bluetooth?

    Might just have to give it a jolt :D

    You might have to re-pair the mouse. I've found at times windows will just spazz out with my windows mouse, and just stop working. So I have to re-pair the mouse (eg remove mouse from bluetooth pane, then re-pair).

    Not sure why it happens, but its a possible fix. It doesn't have too often for me, only a couple times.

    This has happened to me occasionally too with my Microsoft Bluetooth Presenter Mouse. Try sulkorp's re-pairing method first. If that doesn't work, re-start your computer. That's always worked for me.
