I'm running Vista Home Premium, and just recently got a Dell BH200 bluetooth headset as a gift.

My system is bluetooth capable, via the Logitech usb dongle that came with my keyboard/mouse. I am able to get the headset paired with the system without issue. The problem is, after pairing the headset, I'm prompted for drivers... this doesn't seem right!

I did some searching, and found several posts implying that vista's bluetooth profiles were gutted at release... and the headset audio stuff was dumped.

Does anyone know of any third-party drivers I can use? Or maybe some work-around I'm missing?

I tried a work-around using "WIDCOMM Bluetooth Driver 5.1.0.1100" that I read about, and just ended up breaking my keyboard/mouse functionality. Having restored my original drivers, I'm hoping someone has some ideas!

Thanks for any information you can offer up :)
