    I got the Samsung HS3000 Bluetooth Headset, but there aren't any drivers available for it for PC.

    Is there any other way to connect it to Windows 7 via Bluetooth?

    BT headsets doesn't necessarily need win 7 drivers (not from the one I've used), technically you just pair them and win 7 should find the drivers needed on it's own (A2dp stereo, handset, remote, etc....)

    I have tried using Blue Soliel, and Toshiba's BT stack but none seem to work. Toshiba actually paired it, but whenever I enabled Audio Sink, it crashes.
