since updating my new mini to 10.5...my bluetooth mouse wakes my computer consistently (this happens with the apple mouse, AND my new kensington mouse).

been troubleshooting this apple for a few weeks; finally, they want me to do an archive & install, to reinstall the bluetooth drivers.

can i do that WITHOUT a full A&I? anyone, ideas about what i need (and pacifist or something)??

thanks...

I assume you have the "allow bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option unchecked in the bluetooth preference pane.

no, i have to have that checked; if i uncheck it, and wake my mac from the power button...no BT device is seen, and i have to shut down and reboot...

have been thru everything: test user account, deleting prefs, unplugging usb periphs, deleting & recreating the bluetooth devices...and more.

guess it's A&I...
