Configure Samsung WEP250 for Skype on Windows 7

Samsung WEP250
Been trying to configure my bluetooth headset on my comp for the past few days. But windows just can't seems to automatically find the proper driver to install. In the end, I found this bluetooth driver installer from Broadcom that works perfectly.

Procedure:
1. Download the Bluetooth Device Setup Downloader (SetupBtwDownloadSE.exe) at Broadcom website.

Broadcom site 
2. Turn the device to pairing mode by holding the "multi-function" button for 8 seconds.
3. Run SetupBtwDownloadSE.exe.
4. Wait until the driver installation complete, usually will take about 15-20 minutes.
5. Now, turn the bluetooth device to pairing mode again.
6. Add your device, Windows 7 should automatically install the driver, the correct driver this time.
7. Check Skype, click "Allow access" for "BTStackServer.exe wants to use Skype".
8. Check Skype, click "Allow access" for "BluetoothHeadsetProxy.exe wants to use Skype".


9. Run Skype and call "Echo / Sound Test Service" to test the headset.
10. Enjoy!
