Hi guys, I couldn't find another thread relating to this so I thought I'd start a new one.

Has anyone had any luck getting the Apple bluetooth keyboard & mouse working under Boot Camp? During the XP install, I had a USB keyboard but don't want to use this as my primary.

I mucked around for a bit and eventually got the mouse working (using the bluetooth wizard), but haven't been able to get the keyboard working at all. A HID device shows up as not functioning under device manager.

Anyone have better luck than I did?

Cheers, Dan.

I had the same problem and now they run perfectly.
I could get the mouse to work, keyboard recognized but then becomes inactive, or it would work briefly and then stop.

What I did was set them up with "NO PASS KEY", and then I highlighted each one after they were installed, clicked "Properties" for each unit and made sure the check box in that window was checked.

Also, when Windows boots, just before the Login screen, I turn my keyboard off then on again.

Since then I have had them working and recognized always when running XP.

I have an iMac.
