Wireless mouse does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp)

Is there a way to get my wireless (Bluetooth) mouse to work under Windows XP? It is the mouse that came with my Mac Pro.
I managed to install Windows XP Professional and the Boot Camp drivers w/o a mouse. But now that XP is running fine I still have no mouse. Tried the Control Panel > Bluetooth > Detect Devices (can't remember exact wording), but no Bluetooth device was detected.
Yes I read the Boot Camp installation guide but hope that the USB mouse requirement was only for the installation part and that there is a way to make the mouse work after the Boot Camp drivers are installed.
Many thanks for your help.

Most untrue works just fine under Windows actually ,however you do need to repair with windows .AND only after OSx pairing complete AND the Boot camp drivers are installed in Windows.
It uses a special profile to allow pairing in what is in essence two differing computers !
Having said that to get the mighty mouse to pair under windows can take a bit of effort.
When if finds the mouse and asks for a pairing password try either none or 0000!

i have wireless mouse does not work with boot camp

Did you install the correct driver for your Windows version? Are you saying the mouse does not work in Windows after Windows is installed?

How can I access applications if the wireless mouse does NOT work?

I have a new iMac (Snow Leopard) which comes with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. Just in case that the wireless mouse does not work, how can I navigate through applications and the screen?
Any advice will be welcome. Thanks and cheers, Veit

Great, it works.
Let me replicate:
Shift-Command-A (on the Desktop, (but how to get there?) to open Apps, e.g System Preferences;
Arrow keys to navigate within Apps;
Command-down arrow to open a specific app;
Arrows to move around, e.g. to Magic Mouse
Space to open Magic Mouse;
Tab to move between options and arrows to change these; and Tab back to the back icon.
Thanks a lot to both of you, much appreciated your help. Cheers, Veit

Wireless Card does not work in Windows 8.1 for G585

I just wanted to inform someone that the wireless network card does not work in Windows 8.1 Preview. I suspect the driver needs to be updated. When I go to the Device Manager it appears as a Realtek device RTL8192DE instead of a Qualcomm device that does not start. I tried installing the latest driver from the website but it makes the computer crash (BSOD) when trying to reboot after the installation which makes the Windows 8 automatic recovery turn on and I had to restore the system to a previous state before the driver installation.
For now, I just refreshed my system back to Windows 8, instead of trying to use Windows 8.1 Preview . If you have any suggestions, it would be great, otherwise I'll wait for a driver update.

Oh goody. Just updated to 8.1 and it doesn't work. Looks like everyone else is having the same problem. Why no answer from Lenovo?
Please refer to the dedicated thread on "Blue" 8.1.

Wireless mouse does not work

my wireless mouse batteries formed buildup around them. Now my mouse does not work, is there a way to make it work after this happens?

When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries, assuming the mouse is paired.
Turn off the device.
Remove the batteries,
Thoroughly clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and on the batteries themselves.
Replace or renew the batteries.
Turn on the device. You should get a steady green light if the devices are paired.
Click the mouse twice to activate it.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems. Apple’s own brand, Duracell, Energiser and appear to be the best.

Vivienne Tam wireless Mouse does not work.

My wife's Vivienne Tam wireless Mouse for HP Mini 210-1032VU does not work anymore, but the light at the scroll wheel keep flashing/flickering.
We tried changing the battery, but that did not help.
Any suggestions what the problem might be? The mouse is still under warranty.
Any help is very much appreciated.

i have a disease in both hands. It causes a boney like process to grow in the palms of my hands causing my hands to draw up like a claw. Repeated operations for the rest of my life are happening. It is more and more difficult for me to hold a mouse of any kind.
So the vivienne tam mouse has a smaller rise. The microsoft a high rise mound that hits the nerves causing intense pain. The pain makes me break out into a sweat. Where can I find the correct vivienne tam driver? It used to be online. I understand vivienne tam hp driver was taken off the site. it got lost on my computer when the computer crashed. What can I do? how do I get that unique driver back. I alread wrote hp and microsoft online and no help. the driver is specific to the tam. I wonder how many other people have pain with this disease process. The logtech also has a high rise hill in the palm as well. Help anyone

Magic Mouse will not scroll in Windows 7 boot camp, but works fine in Mac OS

Wireless mouse does not work after installing new batteries

I have a PowerBook G4 and have been using a wireless mouse and keyboard. The batteries needed to be replaced in my mouse. I successfully installed new batteries. The mouse will turn on. The LED blinks. But the mouse is not functioning. I must use the finger pad on the machine. I double checked the battery installation and even set-up the mouse as a device again. When I turn the mouse off, I get a "connection" lost window on the screen. I have tried
clicking the mouse to re-establish connection with no luck.
Any suggestions?

I had the same problem today - go to the above URL and follw precisely the instructions - after you delete the current mouse settings from your bluetooth preferences - apparently you have to sometimes reinstall the mouse after changing batteries - however I changed them before and did not need to do this
hope this helps

Wireless Networking does not work within Windows Vista

I need to use Windows IE6 for work but when I open my Windows application, I cannot get my wireless networking to function. Diagnostics says I don't have a Network Adapter install. Back in the MAC O/S, the wireless networking functions fine.
???

Resolved. Windows server 2008 r2 works cool secured. with Mavericks in MBP 2014. All are working well.
Steps:
Identify your mac book and related Boot camp version from Apple support and download.
Integrate the drivers as mentioned in the below link.
for install.wim follow the steps in the below link.
for install.esd (this is the case with Windows server 2008 r2), convert install.esd to install.wim, integrate the drivers and convert back to install.esd and replace the original install.esd.
Install Windows (7 or 8 or server 2008)
After installation install additional drivers from Boot camp - driver folder.
For Windows, all should function (all are functioning for me).
For server versions (all drivers are installed), you have to enable sound from device manager, enable wireless connection by adding additional features from Server manager, it works.
For windows server 2012, integration is not required, it installs as is for MBP 2014, only wireless have to be enabled through server manager (remaining all worked fine)
While installing the drivers, install Boot camp, to enhance additional features like track pad etc., (as in Mac OS)
(Note:
'install.wim' or 'install.esd' integration is needed to avoid hangout during installation - to enable track pad and keyboard
intel folder) to $WinPEDriver$ folder to install chipset drivers, during OS installation. Chipset driver is not getting installed, when you install along with other drivers, gives out error.
Enjoy Windows (any version) with Mac Book Pro.

My bluetooth is off on my mac so my wireless mouse does not work how do I turn it on --i have no corded mouse, my bluetooth is off on my mac so my wireless mouse does not work how do I turn it on --i have no corded mouse

my bluetooth is off and I have a wireless mouse- i have turned mac off and disconnected all usb and then turn back on but wireless wont come on so how do I turn it back on (have no idea how it got turned off) without a wired mouse???

Hello:
According to Apple's documentation, you cannot turn Bluetooth off unless there is a USB device connected.
Do you have a wired keyboard? If so, you could try resetting the PRAM and SMC - although I do not think that would help.

My wireless mouse does not work-how do I link it by wired keyboard? Is there a key stroke to open system preferences?

My wireless mouse, keyboard and keypad for my iMac have all become unlinked for some reason. Just turned it on, no linkage. I do have a wired keyboard that I connected in order to sign on. Now I cannot choose system preferences and link my wireless devices without my mouse. What key strokes are used to choose the Apple, the system preferences in the dock, or some way to start the linking process?

First, make sure your batteries are fully charged; you can also use alkaline batteries if you want. When you insert the batteries, press the depressed button on the right side of your keyboard/wireless mouse; both should automatically "link" onto your computer via bluetooth connection.
Also, make sure the bluetooth devices are linked by going to System Preferences/Bluetooth, and make sure the "On" and "Discoverable" boxes are checked.
And please, post here if you've achieved success.

Wireless not working in Windows XP Boot Camp

I've just installed Leopard and Windows XP Home/Boot Camp. Everything is working great except the wireless connection. I have an Airport Extreme(n) and all the Macs connect fine. A friend brought over his HP Notebook with XP and it connects fine to the network. The iMac with XP finds and connects to the network, but gives a warning "Limited or no connectivity." I don't think that it's properly assigning the IP address to the machine.
I'm using WEP security but I still have the same problem if I turn the security off. When I open Wireless Connection Network Properties in XP, it shows that the machine is using a Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter. Is that correct? All of the Leopard and Windows updates have been installed on the machine. Any ideas out there??
Thanks in advance!
David

The issue affects XP with an "n" wireless router running WEP or WAP2 security. I followed the instructions and problem solved!

CD-ROM`s are not working on windows 8 (Boot Camp)

I have installed Windows 8 in my MacBook Pro (2011) And it works fine. I updated my boot camp drivers today and now sound and brightness works great But i have one problem, im trying to install my pc game to windows 8, but the disc wont appear anywhere on w8. I see it on MAC side, but not on windows side. What i can do? I have searched information of this, but i cant find anything. Somebody can tell me what i have to do?
Thank you!

Did you check Control Panel>Device Manager ?
Open up the DVD/CD-ROM Drives and see if your drive is even listed.
If it is try updating the drivers.
If not Run Action>Scan for Hardware Changes and see if Windows finds the Drive.

Aluminum keyboard eject button does not work on Windows XP

I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue:
the eject disk button on my new aluminum keyboard does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp).
As I have a Mac Pro, there is no way of manually opening and closing the tray-loading Superdrive.
I can open the drive if I right-click "My Computer>DVD drive>Eject" but there is no way of closing it back. I am obviously not a Windows XP expert, are there ways of mapping the eject function to any key?

Actually, how does Software Update figure out what apps you have available for update?
I always thought that Software Update looks at your /Library/Receipts to check what Apple pkgs you have for update, so I assumed that any Apple-related Pkg would be updated. I may be totally wrong on this, correct me if that is so...but thanks for the info.
