Default Bluetooth Driver

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I need a Bluetooth driver for a USB dongle that I have. I bought it a while back when I was on XP, but can't find a driver for Vista to get it to pair with my iPhone. Thanks

Vista should be able to find a driver to work with the dongle as soon as you connect it. You could go to the companies website or just google it's brand name and driver, maybe number of the product and hopefully a driver would pop up from somewhere. Also on vista there is a bluetooth setup wizard at least on my laptop, just go to the start menu and in the Start Search bar just search bluetooth you could try the blutooth information exchanger or bluetooth settings. I don't have any bluetooth dongle to connect, but when I click on the bluetooth information exchanger it tries to pull a driver from my bluetooth device.

For some reason Vista isn't able to find it. Its a Silicone Wave dongle, and I can't find a website or anything for them.

Well I searched google for silicon wave bluetooth driver and I don't see any website for them, but the first two sites sound promising:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/115648

http://www.howtodrivers.com/model297.html

Did you look for the Bluetooth Information Exchanger? Like I said I don't have a device to try it myself but that might be worth a shot.
