    I installed vista 64bit on my thinkpad T61p, and so far have been unable to connect my bluetooth mouse. Its an MS notebook mouse 5000. Bluetooth is turned on, and I installed the Thinkpad drivers. In device manager I see bluetooth as fully functioning. When I try to add the device I get "windows was unable to find any bluetooth devices." Any ideas, I'm loosing my mind?

    The mouse works fine. Where is the second driver? Are both of them 64bit?
