Dell bluetooth headset doesnt work in windows 7,was working in windows vista
The Dell bluetooth Head set doesn’t work post my upgrade to Windows 7 RTM. After researching on different forums and blogs, it seems we may have some issue with this hardware due to non-compatibility of drivers post your release of RC1 .Please help
Due to the fact that Windows Vista doesn’t support Bluetooth headset profile, if you want to use a Bluetooth headset with your adapter, you’ll need a little creative workaround
to add the headset profile to the default Microsoft stack. Download either of the x86 or x64 compilations of the
CSR Bluetooth driver and extract its contents to a folder. When you try to pair your headset to your computer, Windows will ask for drivers for the headset since it doesn’t find the appropriate headset profile. Point Windows
to the folder where you have extracted the CSR drivers to make it work. Make sure you go into the device in the Bluetooth Devices panel and check off the boxes for headset, etc.
Both the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers are developed by
CSR plc and include the following files:

Only the drivers for the stereo sound wouldn't install, which is a pity as the headset sound quality is like telephone quality. Researching further for getting this working. Cheers!!!
