    hi sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but, I just bought an alienware m17x and then i bought a wireless notebook presenter mouse 8000. When i plug it in to my laptop it says that the bluetooth device is not discoverable. Is there something wrong with my bluetooth software or is it just the mouse?

    Did the mouse driver software load correctly? Any errors or messages? Your blue-tooth doesn't have a manual switch for on/off that might be off by any chance? Have you checked the manufacturer's website for a driver update (altho mine did that automatically after I installed).
