I cannot connect my wiimote via smoothconnect feature. Earlier I thought it could be caused by the trial version. Any ideas? I work on vista, 32, microsoft bluetooth drivers. I've tried Pentabulous and it connects smoothly. When starting smoothboard it says found 1 connected 0. I tried to uninstall HID keyboard as one person did in this forum but with no effects. I have to install it manually in order to use smoothboard.

Another problem I came across is that on screen keyboard doesn't work. When needed to be clicked the cursor stops and does not respond.

Hi,

The Unregistered version has all the features available in the Registered version.

As you have mentioned that SmoothConnect manages to find the Wiimote, does the Bluetooth Address of the Wiimote is displayed in SmoothConnect?
And also, does the software tries to connect the Wiimote? The software should feedback with the status of "Connecting..". In the taskbar, the MS Bluetooth icon should also indicate a balloon that the operating system is installing the device.

If it does tries to connect but the device is not installed fully, you may need to press 1+2 button repetitively.

For On Screen Keyboard, due to Vista's UAC/Administration controls it will prevent the software for interacting with the desktop that requires Administration rights. To allow Smoothboard to interact as an Administrator, you will need to set the software to be run as an Administrator.

This can changed by going to Smoothboard's directory (Default is C:/Boon Jin/Smoothboard), and right click on the Smoothboard.exe file to access the Properties.

Next in Compatibility tab->Privilege Level, check the Run this program as an administrator option and click Apply.

You can then launch the software like usual. If you have set the UAC option, the operating system will ask for your consent to launch the software as an Administrator.

Hope this helps

Regards,
Boon Jin

Hi

You should uninstall all Bluetooth HID/ virtual HID devices. Then launch Smoothboard. After smoothboard starts then press 1+2 button on your wiimote. Smoothconnect would then learn and connect the wiimote.

Hope that helps

Hi Boon Jin,

The adress of the wiimote is displayed. It just keeps connecting even if I press 1+2 buttons. When those buttons are pressed, there is information in the taskbar that bluetooth peripheral device is being installed.

There is one thing that could be of importance here: I don't have an original MS bluetooth device incorporated into my laptop. When put into the laptop it begins to install MS drivers.

Hi

What error message do you get when smoothboard/smoothconnect runs. Did you set smoothboard to 1 wiimote? From earlier post you uninstalled the HID keyboard not the Bluetooth HID devices.
By the way what method did you use to  connect the wiimote manually. Did you disable your inbuilt bluetooth adapter if there is one?  Can you give a screenshot of your device manager after installing the wiimote. There should only be 1 Bluetooth HID/virtual HID device if you set for 1 wiimote.

Hi hagoh,
1. The smoothboard won't open, just keeps connecting repetitively. Only after I open the programme by clicking "open whiteboard" (I have a Polish version) it says it something like "it couldn't find a HID device on the list". (I hope that's a thorough translation)
2. I have 1 wiimote. I uninstalled all HID devices I could find in the device manager. What else and where can I find other or bluetooth devices?
3. To connect I clicked the bluetooth icon in the taskbar and followed the on-screen instructions pressing 1+2 buttons.
4. I don't have an inbuilt bluetooth device.
5. I could give you a screenshot but it's in Polish. I don't suppose you would understand it. 
6. The smoothboard shows one wiimote in the opening programme window (and one address).

Hi,

Maybe you can just try to post the screenshot of the device manager. We will try to take a look at it even though it is in Polish.

When you are using SmoothConnect and you press the 1+2 buttons together (not via manually adding in the Bluetooth devices), you have mentioned that on the taskbar the Operating System is installing the device. Does it says that the device is successfully connected/installed?

When you connect the Wiimote manually via your BLuetooth devices, does Smoothboard able to detect the Wiimote?

Another possible solution is to set Smoothboard to try to connect to multiple Wiimotes. This can be done by setting the software under Settings->Wiimote->Multiple Wiimotes->Two Wiimotes and restart the software.
