Vista Forums - View Single Post - Bluetooth mouse/keyboard have to be re-activated after every Re-bo

08-06-2007

I'm having the same problem with my Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse.
About Twice a Week, I have to get Vista to re-recognize it. Like you, I never
change the USP location and never un-plug it. Vista just acts like I just
plugged it in and I have to re-install them about 2-3 Times a Week.
I figur this problem will be taken care of in One of the up comming Vista
updates.
I'm running Vista Ultimate X64 so I'll have to wait a little longer than the
32bit O/S operators, LOL!
