    It means the driver installed is not the correct driver for the device. If there are no vista drivers for the headset then you will need to buy a new headset for Vista.

    is there any chance that you will know if the sennheiser pc 26 is for vista?

    Have you tried just updating the driver via device manager?

    Guessing you will have to buy a new headset then, or ask Sennheiser if there is any way to install it on Vista.

    It's probably meant to be a plug and play audio device, but rejects the driver Vista has for plug and play audio, i.e. isn't compatible.
