Mouse and Keyboard looses connectivity with UAC prompts

Every time UAC pops up, my Logitech MX5000 keyboard and mouse looses connection. I have to take out the USB Bluetooth pen and plug it back in. Anyone else had issues with this?

Looks like Logitech release a new edition of SetPoint, which is the driver/utility 
package for the desktop set you have.

The description says the old SetPoint's Bluetooth was not 100% compatible with Vista.

Thanks Dan, But I already have the latest SetPoint (v3.30.159) and no Widcomm Bluetooth driver installed. Device manager only mentions Bluetooth Wireless Hub and Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator. Brgds, Robert

I have been reading where occasionally some programs installed with User Account 
Control turned off behave unexpectedly when UAC is turned on again.

Not sure how you installed, but if that applies to you, try uninstalling everything 
to do with the Logitech desktop set, restart, make sure UAC is turned on, then install 
the Logitech driver/utility program.

What kind of behavior do you get using basic PS/2 (if you have PS/2 ports) or basic 
USB keyboard and/or mouse?

Hi again,

I tried uninstalling SetPoint, rebooting, enabling UAC, downloading a fresh copy 
of SetPoint 3.3 for Vista 64bit, installing SetPoint and rebooting. Connecting the 
devices went without problems.

Went to the control panel and chose to change something that requried UAC to pop-up.

Immediately lost keyboard+mouse connectivity.

Have an extra USB keyboard plugged in, and that still works.

I will have to resort to disabling UAC for now until this problem is resolved, unfortunately!

Please consider taking the time to give a thorough report to Logitech thru their 
tech support system.

Since the conventional keyboard keeps working, I would be leaning in the direction 
of an issue with the Logitech SetPoint program.

I have the exact same problem and calling Logitech resulted in a waste of another hour... They don't admit they have a problem and if you don't know what you are doing their tech support would send you on wild goose chases and goble up endless time troubleshooting with useless tasks. Calling Logitech I got every technical deflection possible from them, and frankly they just didn't listen to my issue. Logitech, please fix your MX5000 on Vista UAC!
