Actually not a Skype problem.
By this you can see that not even Windows has "found" your BT device.
Windows does not support any audio device and installed the wrong windows drivers.
Please reinstall your BT device.
Keep dongle inserted.
Go to device manager and uninstall your device.
unplug dongle now after uninstalling
Now check for old and/or wrong(ly) installed) drivers.
Right click on "My computer"
Properties
Advanced
Environment Variables
System variables
New
devmgr_show_non present devices
Value = 1
reboot
Right click on "My computer"
Properties
Hardware
Device manager
View
show "hidden devices"
now delete grayed out USB drivers in sector USB and audio
Reboot.
Plug in BT device
windows pops up "new hardware found".
Cancel automatic installing immediately; run manual installation and point to your specific drivers (coming with your BT on CD)
Install even when windows is complaining about "non windows certification" install anyway.
Reboot.
Do test(s) again
If still not working, you will need some more effort to correct.
If your OS is not XP SP2, first check for the latest USB driver.
Do not forget main board drivers.
XP USB Problems sometimes (not all the time) can be solved by deleting that specific USB device.
For other OS I haven’t tried this, but in some strange situations this shall help as well.
1. Please try uninstalling that device via "device manager"
2. If not successful:
Right click on "My computer"
Properties
Advanced
Environment Variables
Add
devmgr show non present devices
Value = 1
reboot
Right click on "My computer"
Properties
Hardware
Device manager
View
show "hidden devices"
now delete greyed out USB drivers
3. If still not successful
Unplug ALL USB cables (do not leave even one)
Goto device manager
Delete ALL USB connections
Reboot.
Reconnect starting with your trouble maker.
If installed correct reconnect the other ones one by one.
Not all together.
4. If still not successful uninstall as advised
Restart machine without all USB devices.
Open regedit
Backup your registry, then goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSetEnumUSB
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet00xEnumUSB
X is valid for 1, 2, 3, 4 ...
For ALL of them
Delete
Vid_xxx&Pid-0000 (unknown USB device)
If present
All the other USB devices
Starting with
Vid_xxx&Pid_xxxx
Should be deleted. If not, delete now manually.
Now go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesdelete all entries starting with USB...
If you can not delete, open edit,
Permissions and enable "full permission"
I heard from one user that he found 60 left and wrong usb devices.
If you are not able to delete, you must export the registry,
Edit with any editor like word pad or word, delete those wrong entries and then reimport.
Sorry, I did not find any easier solution for this strange behavior.
Now reconnect the trouble maker FIRST.
When "new hardware found" pops up, please do not let windows install automatically.
Block this and point to your specific USB drivers.
Only after this device is fully installed AND working properly you can reconnect the other devices one by one.
