    Go to "My Bluetooth Places" , then you should find the plantronics 640 device listed and there should be a "Headset" profile. Connect to it and it should work.

    You can right click on the bluetooth icon on your system tray, then open the utility program (whichever program it uses). If you paired your headset, then the device should show up there and look for something like "Discover services" or something like that. Under those "services" there should be a "headset" Profile. If you can connect to it then you're good to go.

    If that doesn't work, I suggest using a different driver .. like bluesoleil or widcomm (which I use). I find that these drivers have more features and options than the MS or the driver that comes with notebook.
