I have a lenovo thinkpad with bluetooth built in. I have successfully gotten an apple wireless mighty mouse to connect. I recently purchased a pair of insignia bluetooth headphones from best buy but cannot for the life of me get them to work with laptop. anyone own a pair of these or have any ideas to get them to work? the documentation says that it works with vista and i can get it connected via bluetooth but when vista tries to install the device drivers it fails and the ones that i downloaded from the website won't even open when i try to run setup so im assuming that they're for xp and not vista. any ideas?

that;s best buys bargain name brand stuff, tends to be brken from the get go. had a customer go through 12 of their monitors before finally getting them to give him a much better upgrade.

i work as the computers supervisor in the best buy that i purchased these headphones from. while i agree that our dynex branded products tend to be just plastic mixed with crap and electricity the insigna branded products tend to work a lot better. I will probably return them and pick up a pair of logitech phones tomoro if i can't get these to work tonight.

good move, I've never been happy with either of their brands, heck I have a 42" insignia lcd that the local store refuses to replace and has mysteriously lost my receipt, and will not accept my photocopy. so I have a expensive paperweight.

p.s. got it a a gift and just wanted one that worked.
