Precision M6600 Bluetooth Mouse Isn't working
I have an M6600 running Windows 7.
The BT Moust is a Dell Travel Mouse F299K. When I add it through the normal bluetooth menu, it seems to add correctly, but the blue light on the mouse keeps blinking.
I updated the BIOS to A12- that got it working for about 15 minutes. Then it quit and I'm back to where I started. I tried the mouse on two other machines and it works fine. Even on a Macbook Pro.

Correction, I just downloaded the 64 bit version and there is no change.
I still went through the installation routine, the moust sits there and blinks as if nothing even attempted to connect.

Hi,
That support's Windows 7 as well. Below is the link again. Check under Compatibilty for operating systems supported.

That driver made things worse!
Previously the mouse would stop working once every few hours. Now it doesn't work at all! I tried re-adding it to blue tooth devices, it detects the mouse fine, but after it "successfully" pairs, the mouse does not work at all.
I was also fighting this problem for quite a while (installing/updating/de-installing/re-installing chipset driver, bluetooth driver, setpoint, rebooting, removing and re-adding the device in the bluetooth device list).
It always ended with windows saying the device connected successfully, but the mouse still blinking blue and not working.
What _finally_ did the trick for me was:
De-install the bluetooth 375 driver.
In device manager click on "Detect changed hardware" (or so, reads "Nach geänderter Hardware suchen" in my German Windows version).
So far it has been working fine for a couple of days - keeping my fingers crossed.
