I have been unable to get my MS bluetooth keyboard and mouse to work with SP3. &nbsp;I can get them to show up in th the Bluetooth Device window (after Add) but they only show &quot;connected&quot; for a couple of seconds. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
If I close and re-open the Bluetooth Devices the Mouse no longer appears in Devices window (and yes, I have installed fresh batteries).<br />
<br />
If Add the mouse again it shows up and then I have gone to Properties and clicked on Services. &nbsp;I see Drivers for keyboard, mice etc (HID) but it is not checked. &nbsp;When I check it and click Apply I get message:<br />
<br />
Bluetooth Service Error<br />
<br />
Access is denied.<br />
<br />
I have removed/reinstalled bluetooth device drivers and have installed IntelliPoint 6.2/Keyboard 6.1. &nbsp;<br />

How can I get my Microsoft Bluetooth Intelimouse and Elite Keyboard to work after they stopped working when I installed XP SP3?

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.

Peripherals

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
