You say that you are able to connect the mouse using the MS BT transceiver
but not the Belkin one.

Did you try this by just swapping the transceivers or did you uninstall the
MS BT drivers before trying
the Belkin one?
You might want to try these steps.
Uninstall the Belkin drivers.
Then uninstall the MS BT driver completely ...follow the steps in the KB
article below.
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;811805
Then reinstall only the Belkin and try again.
Idea being that since the Belkin transciever claims to support HID and the
MS BT mouse should connect to any transciever that supports HID, the
possibility remains that the MS drivers are somehow interfering with your
setup.
Do let us know how it goes.
