I have a very curious bluetooth driver problem. I purchased a wireless microsoft branded bluetooth mouse. Because my HP laptop does not have built in bluetooth I have to use the accompanying bluetooth adapter. The first time I plugged the adapter in it was recognised and a Microsoft wireless bluetooth 2.0 driver was installed. The first time I rebooted after this the scroll wheel on my mouse stopped working. I discovered that windows had suddenly installed a "Generic bluetooth adapter driver" and that the microsoft driver was suddenly marked as not functioning properly. Once I removed the Generic bluetooth adapter driver my scroll wheel started functioning again. However every time I reboot my laptop that darn "Generic bluetooth adapter driver" gets re-installed and the scroll wheel stops working. How can I prevent this from happening? I find it extremely ironic that this is happening to a microsoft branded bluetooth adapter/mouse!

I´m trying to help out my computer illiterate friend. He just got a new computer with 1x120GB SSD and 1x1TB HDD. He was concerned that he would run out of space on his SSD and that it would abe a pain to manage the space properly so I suggested that he simply junction his "Users" folder over from his SSD to his HDD. I´ve done this successfully on my own system which is installed as english windows, however he has a localized version which comes in norwegian. Thus, in explorer, his "Users" folder is named "Brukere". But this must just be some visual trickery because in command prompt the Users folder still shows up as Users and not as "Brukere". Having done some research on the internet I saw that it was generally recomended to boot from the install disk and use the command prompt in the recovery console to copy over the user files and create the junction. In the recovery console the Users folder was labeled Users. First time I tried it I moved the entire Users folder over to the other disk (using robocopy) and created a junction that pointed to Users. This created havoc when I tried to log back in to normal windows because I guess it was looking for a "Brukere" folder. So I tried again but this time I pointed the junction to "Brukere". This didn´t work either. So I kinda gave up on that and decided to try moving just the one subfolder of the user I was interested in inside the Users folder. Let´s call this user "John". And this is where it gets really wierd. I copied over the folder named "John" into a Users folder on the HDD and then created a junction pointing to it inside the Users folder on the SSD. When I now rebooted and logged back in to windows things were seemingly working for the first time. However upon navigating "SSD:\Users\Junction\" I was not teleported over to the HDD. Insted it appears as if the files now exist in both locations at the same time. It´s like the folders are synchronized. And to further test this hypothesis I downloaded and then deleted a 50 mb file while watching the disk properties of both the SSD and the HDD and it seemed as if the free space on both drives were increasing and decreasing simultaneously. Does anybody have any insight into how to properly set up a junction on a non english windows 7 system? I would really appreciate the help.

I reformated a second time. This time I only got one partition but the partition was still named "arid in pes" and it appears to have the same 0 kb files all over. Strange.

That would be amazing, but seriously, what's the odds of something like that happening? I can't quite think of which text file it would be either. The contents sound more like something out of a novel really.

Diggin through my drawer i found an old 2GB usb stick that I had gotten at work some time ago. I plugged it into my machine and discovered it contained a few old work documents. Since none of it was essential I decided to reformat the drive. I left the name as "untitled" and proceded to format it as fat32. What happened next is complete mystery. The drive somehow formated itself into two partitions where one was a 500mb hidden unaccessible partition with the name "untitled" and the other partition was 1.5GB and had named itself "arid in Pes". I then opened the "arid in Pes" partition and was surprised to see that it contained 81 files all of which was 0 kb in size and no extension but had different file names. If you read through the list of files you could make out fragments of sentances spanning several files. It was really wierd. I'm attatching two screenshot of the files. So what do you guys think this is? A virus or a cleverly hidden message?
