Hi guys,i'm having problems related to bluetooth on bootcamp windows 7 on my iMac 27" i5.

I installed win7 x64 on my iMac with no problems, bluetooth was there ( i used the bootable USB pen that apple provided with ATI and Bluetooth drivers when installing the W7 ), keyboard then was "ok" ( but without some functions like sound and eject etc ). Somehow after some windows updates, i no longer have bluetooth control panel on windows, not anywhere i could find, did search, device manager under "my computer" > properties, nothing!

As far as i see, win update must have done something to my apple drivers, now the question is: How do i reactivate my iMac´s bluetoooth on Win7? the bootable USB pen with broadcom drivers, has them, but it only worked when i installed Win7, now the drivers are there but i have no clue what to do with them...here is the link with the drivers of ATI and bluetooth Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7

Please help, i have to have bluetooth in my windows 7 in order to use my mac keyboard.

G'day and welcome to the forums.

Open Bootcamp Assistant and download drivers and burn to a CD. To connect wireless keyboard and mouse, whilst in OS X and using a wires kb and mouse, remove connections from Bluetooth in Systems Preferences, boot into Windows, go to add a device and see if that brings any joy.
