SetPoint Problem - installation of new version ?
and . I feel I *should* know this. I have an older Dell E521 PC that came with Dell's bluetooth
keyboard, mouse and Setpoint software. Worked great until the bluetooth dongle died. Since I didn't have time (or money) to get another dongle, I
hooked up a Logitch MKZ260 (wireless mouse/keyboard/speaker combo; same as MK260 except it comes with speakers. ). It's not bluetooth but is wireless - Appears to be RF (2.4ghz). Installation instructions said it uses the standard Windows 7 drivers which it does seem to have installed. However, as far as I can see, I no longer have any way to monitor the battery life or mouse & keyboard settings etc. When I click on the Setpoint mouse/keyboard icon in systray it pops up with the old DELL Setpoint but no longer states the condition of the battery, nor does it show any devices. The device tabs aren't even there. Battery status doesn't even show in Device Manager or Control Panel's Devices. Not sure what to do.
I'm hesitant to uninstall Dell's (bluetooth) setpoint since I've no way to re-install it, AFAIK. (System originally came with Vista 64bit. I have upgraded it to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit) I can see Logitech has several downloadable versions of Setpoint available on their site. Not sure which, if any, are compatible with MKZ260. The original documentation for the mouse/keyboard combo indicated it uses the Microsoft native drivers, but no mention about Setpoint. Should I uninstall Dell Setpoint, d/l one of Logitech's and try it or am I just asking for trouble? I've not been able to find any thing on Logitech's site to indicate that Setpoint will even work with this mouse/keyboard combo.
BTW I no longer have any bluetooth devices installed on my computer so am also wondering if I should also be considering uninstalling (if that's possible) or disabling via startup the BTTray, bthserv (bluetooth support service), btwdins (bluetooth service), and LBTWiz (bluetooth services) drivers.
Any advice is VERY much appreciated.
TIA
