Bluetooth mouse won't start

[Good Morning32084]

My "Wireless Intellipoint Explorer for Bluetooth" (what a name!) was working
flawlessly, then suddenly and spontaneously died about 24 hrs after
installing XP sp3.

Used the wizard in the bluetooth which seems to work, but no joy. When I
reopen the bluetooth pane in Control panel, the mouse isn't listed even
though I just installed it.

Removed bluetooth from Device Manager, downloaded new Intellipoint Drivers,
loaded them, reran the wizard. Still no joy.

Anyone have any ideas on restarting this balky bluetooth mouse.

Thanks

Batteries anywhere in this thing? Receiver or transmitter, how is
the mouse then powered? I heard "tall tales" about wire-less
keyboard/mouse combos and users switching back to wired, because
some mouses needs too many batteries (don't last a week)...

Thanks

Intellipoint "drivers" do not normally have the Bluetooth "protocol"
stack included. Do you have SP2 installed? Microsoft has delivered
thier Bluetooth protocol with it

Good idea, but the batteries in the mouse are fresh, and the battery checker
in "mouse properties/wireless" pane in Control Panel says the batteries are
full green. The bluetooth transceiver is powered by USB.

I think it's a software issue. COM port conflict or something like that.

I have the same problem, strangely a second mouse of a different make connected fine, Then I backed out SP3, which didn't make any difference. I reinstalled SP3 and now neither mouse works.

I've the same problem, too!!
It's not related with SP3, I think. After replacing the batteries (for new
ones!) the mouse "died".
And, as other people have said, Windows can detect it and install, but it
doesn't work. And, if you close the Bluetooth Devices, an open again, the
device is not there!
