Connection Problems between BlueSmirf Silver and Arduino

Hello,

I’m a high school student, and using the Bluesmirf Silver I recently bought for a science fair project. I am following this tutorial: http://developer.neurosky.com/docs/doku … nd_arduino

The Bluesmirf silver is paired and turns solid green only when the neurosky mindwave device is on.However, I am not able to pick up the Rn-42 on the computer when i try to pair the bluesmirf with my home computer(which has bluetooth via dongle). My Bluesmirf flashes red when i power the arduino uno, but immediately turns green if the Neurosky is on. When i power the Neurosky mindwave Mobile off, the bluesmirf continues to flash red. Therefore i am not able to pair the bluesmirf with any other device. I want to break all the pairings and be able to connect the bluesmirf with the computer, but i can not do this right now because the RN-42 is not visible to my computer, and the bluesmirf is already green. Would i need to factory reset the bluesmirf?

Is anybody aware of what could be going wrong?

Would appreciate any responses

Thanks
