Because you have not mentioned it, I will assume that you use Windows XP. After doing some research I found out that wireless headsets should work with Yahoo! Messenger.
Let's first see if your headset is actually configured to do the audio and microphone:
- Make sure your headset is connected.
- Click Start
- Choose Control Panel
- Go to Sounds and Audio Devices
- Click the Audio tab
- Now at both Sound playback and Sound recording choose as Default device your Motora headset.
- Click Apply at the bottom of the window.
- If the Default devices change back to something else do the two steps above again.
- Now go to the Volume tab
- Make sure that Mute is unchecked
- Under Speaker settings click Advanced and choose Stereo headphones
- Now if you would click somewhere on the Device volume bar you would hear a sound. Set the volume as you want.
- Click Apply
- Click OK and close Control Panel
Now to make sure that everything is working do this:
- Click Start
- Go to All Programs
- Choose Accessories, then Entertainment and click Sound Recorder
- Here you can record a test message and play it back. Your headphone should work completely.
Then here you can see how to configure Yahoo! Messenger (please note it is a PDF file which will/should be opened with Adobe Acrobat/Reader):

Please let us know if that works.

No, this should not be of influence. It is just that I was wondering whether you have correctly installed the headset. Could you please test your headset like I said in my first post:If that is a limiting factor, should I be looking for headsets that come with software - is it possible the some headsets will work in this way while others will not?
- Click Start
- Go to All Programs
- Choose Accessories, then Entertainment and click Sound Recorder
- Here you can record a test message and play it back. Your headphone should work completely.
Please let us know if the sound and microphone of the headset work.
Regards,
John.

Let's see if it is shown in Device Manager:
- Right-click on My Computer
- Click Manage
- Now click on Device Manager
- Then expand the section of Sound, video and game controllers
- There are probably a lot of things like codecs and drivers but also SoundMAX Integrate Digital Audio will show up
- Now see if in that list also anything like Bluetooth audio device shows up or anything other that could indicate that your laptop knows the headset is connect
- Also see if there is a section that has to do with Bluetooth and check if the headset is shown there.
Please let us know.
Regards,
John.

After doing some research I found out that installing a bluetooth headset, like the HS850, is not really easy. There are a lot of guides on how to connect your bluetooth headset in the right way and set it to completely work with your computer. This guide I found most detailed:
http://www.windowsde...oth.html?page=1
At the bottom of the page you will see a button 'Next page' and the guide will go on there.
I recommend that you make sure the headset is now disconnected and then completely work through that guide. That most really do the job.
Please let us know.

John.
