My Logitech headset worked on XP but not on Vista. Found a fix on this forum. Below is waht worked for me (copied from original post):
How to fix the logitech driver problem:

1) Copy the USBAUDIO.sys file from a [COLOR=#3676A2 ! important][COLOR=#3676A2 ! important]Windows [COLOR=#3676A2 ! important]XP[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] machine
2) on the Vista machine, click start, type "cmd" in the search box and press Ctrl, Shift & Enter so you get a "root" CMD-vindow
3) type "cd drivers", press enter
4) type "takeown /f USBAUDIO.sys", press enter
5) type "cacls USBAUDIO.sys /G "Your Username":f", press enter, and Y when asked. (Note the " around username)
5) type "del USBAUDIO.sys", press enter
