Running Windows 7 and the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 IDE. The Windows bluetooth manager shows the NXT is connected and the NXT shows up in the Windows list of bluetooth devices. When I try to connect from the Lego IDE, however, I get a message that says "Error: NXT Bluetooth passkey confirmation failed".

I entered the pairing key on the NXT and within Windows with no problems. The problem is when I am in the IDE trying to connect to the NXT.

Any suggestions?

Update - January 8, 2010

I have it working on one computer. It's a desktop PC running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. Same BT adapter, I just didn't install the vendor supplied drivers. I used the default Win 7 BT drivers. I'm gonna try it on my Win7 notebook in a clean boot-to-VHD.

Update - January 12, 2010

Booted into a VHD, plugged in the BT adapter, did not install the manufacturer's drivers, and the mindstorm - BT connection works.

I tried removing all the manufacturer's driver from my main Win7 installation but still have this problem.

Folks - at the risk of repeating something obvious, try running the program as the administrator.
