images/news/vista.jpg"I've had Bluetooth mouse problems on two other Vista laptops—one with another 5000 model and the other with Apple's Mighty Mouse. On both computers, the mice will intermittently loose connections. I need to review the system logs, when there is more time, to what's going on. But while troubleshooting my daughter's computer, I observed that the Bluetooth icon on the taskbar and in Control Panel mysteriously disappeared, later returning when the mouse started working.

Both Vista updates had been applied to the two other computers without other problems. But my wife's computer failed to properly shut down or boot up after installing the updates. I experienced one of the scenarios identified by some TechNet forum posters. Normal boot up failed. Vista loaded up the recovery mode, which looked for but failed to find a solution. The recovery mode then offered to restore the system to a previous time (Restore Point), which I accepted.

Vista loaded up with an earlier instance and now runs fine. The update appears to be gone, and the mouse still no longer works. I'm going to spend sometime this weekend troubleshooting. My wife is pretty cranky about using the laptop's touchpad. She wants her mouse back!

I remember I had one serious problem with the Vista.

I tried system restore.. everything went fine, but then, it said like - Can't Restore system....
Overall I solved that problem (by cleaning here and there), but still, the vision of trusting Vista was blurred

Vista is a good OS.... nothing on earth is perfect.. but it works so well.. There are so many configs.. that is really hard to anticipate any configuration.

When installing a service pack I always do a clean install with a format... and everything always works nicely.
