Vista - Logitech Headset - PN B-0125A not working

Hi there,

Have a Logitech Headset, which worked in XP, didn't require divers, that now
doesn't work in Vista. Its a USB device, any ideas?

In the Device Manager it shows with a warning icon in the Sound,video and
game controllers section.

If I view the Properties in the Device Manager I see

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and
to see if there is a solution available.

Regards
Jason

this is just a guess but xp may have it's own drivers for running a usb
headset.
check Logitech for drivers for vista.

I forgot to ask but what sound device is installed on the board, it could be
a problem with those drivers.
