[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1148753, member: 46727"] I find it strange that Apple support replied the way they did. The BT drivers are not installed until Windows 7 is booted up and the Snow Leopard DVD is inserted for driver installation. When installing Windows via Boot Camp and you have a wireless keyboard and mouse, it's possible not to be able to use either or both until Windows is up and running and the drivers have been installed. The solution is to use (temporarily) a USB keyboard and mouse during the installation. After Windows is installed and the drivers are installed, switch to BT. Once the keyboard and mouse are paired correctly in Windows 7, they'll work as they should from now on. [/QUOTE]
