SuperDave,
Not sure which devices you are using, but if it's a wireless keyboard/mouse, windows will not need to detect
these devices. As long as Parallels Tools are installed in the guest VM, (Always install Parallels Tools) then WinXP just borrows them from the Mac host.
If you are trying to have a bluetooth device recognized natively within the Windows guest VM, then please refer
to the following knowledge Base article to set it up. http://kb.parallels.com/en/5962
Hope this helps.

Currently, I can only add that I wanted to pair a Sony Ericsson Yari cell phone to an VM.
The idea here was that this cell phone is fully supported under Windows, but only partially/poorly on Max OS X iSync where several sync problems are caused.
However, it I would need to test it first (and this project is currently postponed.)
If someone also tried to pair a bluetooth cell phone, please let me know whether you got it to work.

PD Fails Using Internal 2.1/2.0 BT Hardware
AmauryV: BTW My name is Amauri... PD fails when you use the Internal BT hardware on the MAC under OSX 10.6.4. However, it works when you use an external Dongle. I agree with you that this is a MAC OSX 10.6 problem. I have several posts on the Apple Mac Forums on the BT unresolved issue. If I use external BT hardware, it functions as advertised in Windows (any of them) but runs 1/10 speed (if at all) under Mac OSX. So I did get a Targus Dongle tun under PD Desktop with XP. But the minute you try the internal Apple BT Hardware, it goes away and only a reboot gets the Internal BT working again on the Mac side. After lots of experimentation cross platforms and OS, I concur with you that there is a Mac OSX 10.6.4 problem handling BT...
