I have a 2010 MBP running Lion with Windows 7 Professional installed via Bootcamp. First, I'll say getting the installation to work was quite an ordeal. I had a full Vista license to use (and Win 7 Pro upgrade), only to find out Lion doesn't support installing Vista- stupid oversight on my part. So I used the Win 7 upgrade to do a clean install, which works but won't activate as genuine copy (serial is only for upgrade). So after a few attempts I was finally able to re-run the Win 7 installer to upgrade my Windows 7 Pro to...er...Windows 7 Pro and activate. Super.
Now this brings me to my problem. Performing the upgrade installation seems to have vaporized Bluetooth support in Windows 7. As the title states, bluetooth devices is no longer listed in Control Panel, and my Apple bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse are not detected. Boo.
I'm most concerned about getting the keyboard working- I game with an external monitor and use the keyboard with a USB mouse, MBP set off to the side.
I've tried a few troubleshooting steps found on Windows support forums- chiefly going into Services and setting Bluetooth to run automatically on startup on the local system, but no dice. Will also take this opportunity to say the "official" answers in Microsoft support forums are fairly worthless, but we all knew that already, right? Okay, rant over. Also tried repairing/reinstalling Bootcamp drivers a few times, also to no avail.
Any other ideas fellow bootcampers?
