Rule one ... the word "compatability" does no exist, not in computing.

Rule Two ... always remember rule one when reading anything.

yea... they did not mean you could use it for your phone(you already speak to people on your phone)... I think they meant that you can add the Bluetooth USB adapter to your pc and use your headset as a mic for Yahoo Voice...

well.... try typing properly...

sorry, but all this "txt speak" gets right up my nose....

anyway, you have the USB dongle installed yes? and is it turned on/looking for pairing? and is your headset also turned on and set to receive.? they should "see" each other (read the manuals for each device) but be warned, i tried that back when bluetooth first came out... and apart from looking like a Borg reject, it was not very good....

If you are running Windows XP, open My Bluetooth Places and then click Add a Bluetooth device. This should open a wizard. Your headset must be set to be "discoverable" mode (check the manual for your headset if you're not sure how). Once your device is connected, click View my Bluetooth services and make sure My Headset is started.

You do know if you ever get it to work, it will be crap.
