    I have a T61p on which I did a clean install of XP (thanks Arkit3kt). I initially had the Microsoft Bluetooth stack and things worked well. Then someone gave me a pair of Bluetooth headphones and while they would connect, they wouldn't work.

    I just installed the latest ThinkPad Bluetooth with EDR and got my headphones working as well as the ActiveSync with my Moto Q (finally). However, I cannot get all the mouse features working properly.

    I can connect the mouse and the basic functions work. However, I have a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 and one of the features I use quite a bit is the Magnify function. This no longer works because the IntelliPoint software no longer sees the mouse, so mapping a button to the Magnify function (or anything else) has no effect. When I go to Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, and click on Mouse, I get the following message: "Some mouse settings might not work until you connect a Microsoft mouse to a USB port on your computer or set up a Microsoft mouse that uses Bluetooth technology." So even though the Bluetooth Neighborhood shows a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 as connected, IntelliPoint doesn't see it. This worked just fine with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack but doesn't work with the ThinkPad stack. Any suggestions for getting IntelliPoint to see the mouse I've connected?

    Arkit3kt,

    Those are the two stacks I've tried. With the standard one the headphones work properly while the mouse does not. With the Microsoft driver the mouse works properly but the headphones do not. It seems it shouldn't really matter but obviously it does.
