bluetooth dog gone
I have an Acer Aspire One netbook with XP and service pack 3 installed. I am
trying to install a mouse (Labtec wireless optical mouse plus). Labtec info says: This product does not require any software. Please use the operating system's native device drivers. I suppose the mouse needs bluetooth. I click Start – Controlpanel, but there is no bluetooth icon. I have also tried to click (attempted translation from Swedish) Start – Control panel – Add new machine ware. The list presented does not contain a choice for a mouse. Any ideas on how to get the mouse working? /Ove |

Wireless mice DO NOT (usually) need or use Bluetooth.
There should be two elements to your wireless optical mouse, 1). a USB "dongle" wireless transmitter and 2). the wireless mouse itself. Plug the dongle into a spare USB port. Switch on the mouse (there should be an on / off switch underneath the mouse) Next comes the tricky bit... There should be a button on both the underside of the mouse and on the dongle. These buttons may or may not be labelled "connect", and there may only be just the button on the mouse. If there are both a button on the mouse and on the dongle, first press the button on the mouse and then (usually within a max period of 30 seconds to 2 mins), press the second button - on the dongle. It is at this point that the Window's drivers should automatically detect a "hid" device ("hid" doesn't mean "hidden" but stands for Human Interface Device - a class of device that includes mice). Alternatively, you can usually download the specific manual for most bought hardware from the internet. You should be able to find it by just typing the make and model into "Google"... == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Ove" wrote in message ...

Thank you both Mr Joe and Mr Tim
After some time I found the mouse on the labtec homepage. It was not the same type that was linked. http://labtec.com/index.cfm/gear/det...,contentid=729 I got this mouse from the fiancé, it was a left over. It was unopened in it´s package, just a plastic cover. There is a connect button on the underside that works but there is no dongle on this mouse, as on the picture in the link. Specifications on the product: P/N 831522-0000 M/NM-RBM118 PID PN835MA None of these search words above can be found on google.

Thank you Mr Joe/Elmo I didn´t understand what I was reading. Now I know the mouse is not complete, the USB plug is missing. My misconception, my fault. I´ll simply buy a new mouse. I learned.
