How to use bluetooth on vista????

Question

I bought a blue tooth dongle for my pc and got it working on my friends pc thats on XP within 5 mins, but it asks me to insert the disc that came with it on my vista machine!!! even though no disc came with it. It has picked up my phone and installed certain drivers but it needs another one to be able to work.

the device is aV2.0+EDR bluetooth USB adapter. model ES-050 i think.

PLZ HELP

Bit strange no Disk is included when you bought that Bluetooth,

Go to Control Panel/Device Manager/ see if there is a unknown device connected then try to update on the web.
