Getting my Apple Mighty Mouse to work with Windows XP

I bought an Apple mouse back in August and after a week of playing around with it, never really got it to work. It would detect but when it claimed to have been connected it just wasn’t. I would look at this box

wiggle the mouse and… nothing. I tried again a few days ago and it seems all my pain was due to a lack of patience. While I waited for 10 seconds and giving up I should have taken my time since XP was figuring out that I didn’t have the code to pair the mouse and it was going to have to ask me for it. This can take 30 seconds or so.  So, to fix it I waited until the pop up box asked me for the code (0000) and then it paired successfully. It now works every time which is just awesome.

My new problem is getting it to synch every time i reboot…
