Disable Bluetooth passkey for dual Boot for vista and xp


Using Vista
I have Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 7000 and I don't have
the option to disable the passkey for the keyboard. I want to disable
the passkey in order to get the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment
Keyboard 7000 to work with dual boot OS; windows xp and windows vista. I
do have the option to disable the bluetooth passkey in windows xp, but I
dont have it in Vista.

I appreciate the help...
Thanks,

Re: Disable Bluetooth passkey for dual Boot for vista and xp


Waw it took me 5 minutes to figure it out.. This is what you need to do
first boot to windows xp.
In control panel --> Blue Tooth, then remove the keyboard device. make
sure you are in software mode.
Click ok
Then go the Microsoft keyboard software in the program files.. Under
the wireless tab click connect.. follow the instructions press the
little pin on your mouse to detect the device then press the little pin
on your keyboard to detect (on this process there is no passkey set
yet(hint))... When you click next press cancel on the next process to
skip the passkey initialization. To check if it works go back to the
blue tooth in the control panel and check on the device there should NOT
show any keyboard devices. Boot to Vista and do the same process.. This
is a little glitch on the keyboard software that helped me a lot to get
the wireless keyboard work on dual boot mode...
