I'm in the same boat. I have the MS Elite bluetooth combo and am using Vista
Ultimate 64bit. Vista seems to see the bluetooth transceiver, I get the
bluetooth icon in the systray, but I cannot open its settings. Trying to add
a new device is beyond frustrating as neither keyboard nor mouse are
recognized. Both intellipoint drivers are installed, but even then, clicking
on their desktop icons for adding a mouse or keyboard do nothing but give
directions and the little "Add Bluetooth Devices" link within does not work.

It's as if Vista doesn't recognize the bt dongle. I cannot find it in
Control Panel classic view, and yet if I go to Device Manager it is there,
"working properly." At wit's end with this circus, I tried the install on XP
and it went without a hitch. Both keyboard and mouse were recognized.

I tried again on Vista and back to the ever-frustrating puzzle. The icing
on the cake is the bt icon disappearing from the systray after five to ten
minutes. Nothing is hidden, it just decides to take a little siesta... or
play hide and seek.
