Windows 7, bluetooth, apple keyboard

Trying to pair an apple keyboard with windows 7 but it wont work after inputting the pairing code. Just says:

Unkown error. The reported error code is:0x80070575.

Works in XP, but not Windows 7. Any advice?

Sorry, but this problem sounds like it's going to be very hard to fix, an issue with Windows 7 Bluetooth implementation.

Are you able to test any other devices, at least you know then if it's a general problem or specific to the Apple keyboard.

OK long time since I got back to this but still same problem.

Tested keyboard on my Vista laptop, lets me chose a pair code, and its connected and working in seconds. So keyboard still works.

Back to the Windows 7 PC, paired up another bluetooth device, and its connected and working in seconds.

So why does Windows 7 not like my Apple bluetooth keyboard? Currently using latest release candidate, but its still the same as the beta I posted originaly about. It gets as far as asking for the code, but only after I have pressed enter on the apple keyboard, then after about 3 secs it just says error, if I but in the code or not. Any ideas?

Could simply be an issue with the current Win 7 bluetooth implementation; you have to remember that it's not the final build yet, so may work with some things and not others.

My Apple wired keyboard works fine on Win 7 (using it to type this) if that's any help to you, so it has to be something to do with the bluetooth.

I have tried other bluetooth devices such as an iPhone etc, and they connect fine with Windows 7. I just cant understand why its having a problem with this keyboard.

Have you activated Human Control Devices in the bluetooth sync options?

Hoping that's the answer, will check when I get back home.

Did you ever fix this problem, I'm having exactly the same issue with Windows 7 32 bit. It recognises the keyboard, but when I click on let windows generate a key it come up with the above error message.

Looks like I'm going to have to buy a Dinovo if it can't be fixed!
