such as mice or keyboards, always make sure your batteries are fresh. Dead or dying batteries can cause pairing problems simply because the wireless transmitter in the device may not produce a stable enough signal for the adding this device to this computer failed bluetooth receiver. Also note that dead or dying batteries can sometimes be the source of device connectivity problems. Therefore, always make sure your batteries are fresh before attempting pairing operations with these devices. The Problem Normally I just go into ‘Devices and Printers' and delete the device and pair it again. This usually works seamlessly. Today, not so much. I successfully delete the Targus mouse from the ‘Devices and Printers' and that works correctly. I then put microsoft bluetooth mouse driver the mouse into discovery mode and start the ‘Add a Bluetooth Device' panel. The panel finds the mouse fine. I select the mouse and click ‘Next'. I then see the next image. So, this is a reasonably stupid error because it's a mouse. Mice don't have authentication errors because they don't use pairing codes. I have no idea why Windows would even present this. It's clear that something is completely borked in Windows. And, you know, this is one of the things about Windows I absolutely hate. It gives stupid errors like this without any hope for resolution. Note that clicking the little blue link at the bottom of the window is completely worthless. Clicking that link won't help you resolve this issue. It leads you to some worthless help page that leaves more questions than answers and only serves to waste time. I digress. So, now that I've received this error, I proceed to Google to find an answer. Well, I didn't find one. After traversing through several forums where people are asking the same questions, no answers here. Then, I proceed to search the registry thinking it left some garbage in the registry from the previous pairing. Nope, that search was a waste. So now, I'm basically at the trial and error phase of resolution. I finally get to Mi

Hi GrayTheWolf, welcome to 7F! Quote: What the heck is this? In the simplest of terms it means, Your OS failed to see and/or recognize your mouse. The first item to check: Type/Copy/Paste: services.msc into the Run box, when the Services window opens check the Bluetooth Support Service. If it is stopped, disabled or on Manual, right click on it, and select properties. While on the General Tab click on the down arrow to the right of Startup Type, and change the type to Automatic. Then down where it says Service Status, click on the Start Button. Reboot your machine, and go through your usual routine to pair the mouse with it.
