Logitech Cordless Internet Hnadset Phone on VISTA! for SKYPE

Recently just brought a Logitect cordless internet handset for Skype... however it turned out harder to use than ever. I am using VISTA 1) FIRSTly i couldnt open the program "Logitech internet handset" a popup saying " please upgrade your operating system" comes out. 2) then i couldn't get my handset to connect (it shows disconnect all the time) 3)i've already choose my input and output on skype as 'Logitech internet handset" i've also changed my laptop's input and output devices on logitech internet hand set" 4)this only leaves me to the final question " DOES IT NOT SUPPORT VISTA AT ALL?" Thank you experts for your helpppp~ im so so lost... thanks

Handset shows DISCONNECTED.
On Logitech support page lookup document 6674 (search).
Boot computer with minimum og services and programs running.
Start Logitech handset program - this starts skype.
the handset will disconnect.
As soon I start the new LIVE MESSENGER BETA - the hanset disconnect.
Therefor I installed a msn messenger extension in Skype extras.
This gives me the opertunity to use msn messenger without using the LIVE MESSENGER PROGRAM - if I do - Logitech Handset will not work.

I had the same problem, the phone comes with a setup disk designed for XP and before, logitech have a download for vista users at the following address

www.logitech.com/index.cfm/438/233&cl=nz,en

After installing this and and doing some reseting my phone works, however in hindsight I would recommend against purchasing this particular phone, as it's sound quality is not as good as I expected.

Install updated driver for vista available on logitech site and uninstall messenger live (computer requires rebooting).
messenger live has compatibility issues.

Get the last vista driver....www.logitech.com/index.cfm/438/233&cl=nz,en
than go, start - all programs -click on logitech. on logitech internet handset click with right side of mause, then select properties and click on security. on "group or users names" activate " everyone" than "edit". on next page on "permission for everyone" under "allow" activate " full control". in the end you just need to make the default sounds to the headset in skype.
hope it will help!

For "upgrade your operating system" message, you should find the .exe file and right click>properties then in compatibility tab change it to XP. But anyway this phone doesn't get incoming calls in Vista. I am gonna return it.

Yes it does work when you install the vista driver you just need to make the default sounds to the headset in skype itself not windows

If you use windows vista, and installed windows live messenger, you wil have alway`s this problem, solution is, dont let msn start up with your pc.
The best way, under software remove msn messenger, and install again en dont let it start wen your pc start up. skype and msn dont working together.
i hope your problem is solved

HI I am running Vista and want to install a Logitech Skype cordless phone I am hearing there can be a problem, please advise if I can do this before I buy the item Thx Robyn

You can run it in compatability mode.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301911/en-us

Make sure you do nothing for the graphics option or it will mess up your settings. Also, enable the "always run in compatibility mode" option.

After doing this, it worked perfect on my vista64 and my XP64. Have not tried Windows 7 x64 yet.

Logitech cordless internet handset for skype -- base unit problem

You can uninstall the Skype Application and reinstall it in compatiblity mode and chose XP. To do this right click on the install exe and go to the compatibility tab/section and from the drop down chose XP. Then try reinstalling it.
That has solved a lot of issue for me with Vista.
Let me know if you need anymore help or if that does not solve your issue.
Thanks,
CompGoddess

You advice was such a blessing

Haven't experienced this one, it should open if you right click on the icon in the tray at the bottom.

However you should still be able to change your Skype options, click on "skype", then "Tools", then "Options", then "Audio Settings", change microphone and speakers to "logitech" or whatever your computer has listed your device as. This should have the effect of changing logitech to "use handset" and gets the same result. Unfortunately the phone will never work as good as it should, for instance I can't make test calls. I hope this helpful.
