My Bluetooth headset and USB dongle cannot be paired in a Windows XP SP2 system. What can I do?
Anders @ Skype forum has a great step-by-step trouble-shooting guide posted (see the link: http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=10822). With permission, we have posted it here for your convenience. See below and read a master at work. (Edited 10th of September 2005) I have bought a Logitech Bluetooth Headset Pro (HS01) and an X-Micro Bluetooth dongle for my PC – AND IT WORKS GREAT! Getting there was however quite troublesome with a lot of “trial and error”, but once you know the tricks, it takes less than ½ hour to set it up, so I would like to share my experiences with you. This is how to go ahead under XP SP2 (at your own risk): 1) Buy a Bluetooth version 1.1 or version 1.2 dongle with Class 1 reach (“up to 100 meters”). The brand of the dongle is not important (as long as it is not Sony Vaio!), but it is very important to check the specs of the dongle to make sure it supports “headset” services. You should go for Bluetooth version 1.2 if possible, as it has better headset support
