[Papervision3D] hooking up my wii

[Emilio Bool]

Hi John, you don't need to do nothing with the power button, and I have the
same problem that you have with the skip pairing screen, it doesn't do
anything,... that's weird but I only have that problem when I try to connect
the wiimote from "My Bluetooth Places", If I do it from the wizard (right
click in the Systray Bluetooth Icon)  then I have no problems...

try using the wizard, there is an option that says something like "I know
which service I want to connect to, and I want to search for a device that
offers it" (it is the first option), I tried it just a moment ago and it
worked.....

Thanks Emilio, I get passed the "skip pairing" portion just fine, then in
the next screen it says "select service" and there are no services listed.

Try waiting some seconds while it shows up on the list, and don't release
the 1&2 buttons until you connect to the service....

When the HID shows up on the list don't forget to select it first and then
click finish...

If it is your first time connecting it, the bluetooth software will start
installing the necessary drivers for the HID service, and maybe it will
disconnect... when the drivers are finally installed you only have to
reconnect it the same way, and thats all (just in the case it disconnects)
