He stated that he has bought a genuine Wiimote, so i would be surprised if it could'nt, but you do make a point.
@Endorphyn
Alright then, did you try what i suggested:
"If it doesnt, try right-clicking the bluetooth icon and selecting settings. Under 1 of the tabs, (maybe the first) there should be a checkbox saying something like "Allow bluetooth devices to connect to this computer" Make sure this option is ticked."

Yes i did. You guys dont have to ask, i'll try all your suggestions for sure!
But nothing did help yet... Also tried the tutorial which Admin posted, the Toshiba stack is exactly the one which is recommended for my stick
Sitecom CN-516. I still got the feeling that this stick dont work with wii remotes, but it is listed here
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_Working_Bluetooth_Devices
So, to summarize:
1. Your old 3rd party wiimote wasn't detected by the computer, so you bought a new official nintendo wiimote, which connects just fine to a real wii, but still can't even be detected by your pc.
2. Your first dongle did not work, so you went out to buy a new 1 that is supposed to work according to the list admin89 found.
Thought i would write this so that other people wanting to help would not have to browse the thread to be upto date on your hardware.
Anyway, if you have a genuine wiimote that connects just fine to the wii, this should mean that the problem is NOT with the wiimote itself. That leaves the dongle which is supposed to work.
That Aside:
Is there any chance there might be some other bluetooth thing/wireless stuff messing with the signal? Do you have any other bluetooth related services near the pc? I'm wondering why Windows won't even detect the wiimote.
Can you connect other bluetooth devices to the pc?

I can connect my phone without any problems... Also somewhere in the neighbourhood must be printer which works via bluetooth. Couse often when i try connecting the wiimote i can see the printer of someone.
I know this will sound stupid but i have to ask, are you sure your Wiimote is'nt being recognised as a printer? Earlier today i read about a guy whose wiimote supposedly turned up as a printer under devices and printers, and i can now see that this guy is actually you lol. You said your last wiimote was recognised as a printer, i'm just wondering if this is not the same case? Perhaps there is some driver on your pc which recognises the wiimote as a printer?
Sorry if this is "a little thin", i'm kinda out of ideas here...

Yeah.. i thought it was the remote.. but actually it was a neighbours printer.
Just found it out as i tried to find devices while remote was turned off
My earlier thread was a bit stupid.. could have tested this before... but now im sure its not the remote which is recognized as printer.
The reason for buyin an original remote was the guy who posted in my old thread, he said this 3rd party remote isnt supported by dolphin yet.

Why u spam in my thread now?
He is saying that you never answered that question.
Just out of curiosity; how would he go about checking what kind of wiimote he has when the thing will not show up under devices and printers? I'm assuming it would be written on the wiimote or the package, but where?
