Enabling Microsoft Bluetooth Drivers
If you chose not to install the WIDCOMM software, you can
install the Microsoft Bluetooth drivers so that the Bluetooth
components function in Bluetooth wireless mode.
✎
Limited Bluetooth profiles are supported by Microsoft Bluetooth
drivers. Check the Microsoft web site
for
updated listings.
The Microsoft Bluetooth drivers found in Microsoft Windows XP
Service Pack 2 do not provide first boot or recovery capabilities.
For recovery and first boot requirements, a wired mouse should
be readily available.
■
“First boot” capability refers to using a Bluetooth mouse in
USB wireless mode then switching to Bluetooth wireless
mode (once the operating system has loaded) without
connecting a wired mouse for the system to recognize the
mouse.
■
“Recovery” capability refers to replacing a faulty Bluetooth
mouse with a functioning Bluetooth mouse without
connecting a wired mouse for the system to recognize the
mouse.
To enable the Microsoft Bluetooth drivers, you must install the
software packages as described in the
Transceiver to Work with Microsoft Bluetooth Drivers”
“Installing the Microsoft Bluetooth Drivers”
✎
The Connect button on the Bluetooth USB transceiver does not
function if the Microsoft Bluetooth drivers are used.
