8) Reboot.


These steps were taken from the article linked below. I am not guaranteeing that this will work as I don't personally have that headset, but it might be worth a shot.

Hey mate, I was having the same issue. Couldn't get them to work on Windows 7. Anyway I went through my hard drive and found the drivers I downloaded 6 months ago or so that work fine with Windows 7. If you would like me to send you them, send me an email on mattoldfield94@gmail.com - Its only about 40mb so should be able to send it fine :)
