On my old laptop I can connect to 3 devices (headset, phone, GPS) no problems. On a new laptop, same brand, similair model, two of the devices connect but the headset does not.
Problem is, I cant remember the brand of the headset to see if it needs a driver or something to get it going. On the old computer it just shows as AC3 headset.


Any ideas?




 I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

You don't need a driver for the headset. Are you using the same Bluetooth software in both laptops?

I have not installed any BT software, just whatever was in Windows Vista. Phone and GPS device connect OK.

Made some progress, the earphone had a pairing problem, now sorted.
However, the phone N6121) is not functioning properly. When I turn it on, the computer sees the phone but I cannot set the pin on it. Windows starts to install drivers for it but then asks for the disk that came with it?
