I have a cable and wireless usb dongle. When I plug it into my Vista Home
Premium laptop the computer says it has installed the drivers for the dongle
but the Bluetooth icon does not appear anywhere on the computer and there are
no bluetooth devices listed in the device manager... However when I plug it
into my girlfriend's computer it works perfectly. She is also using Vista
Home Premium. Is there any way to find the drivers needed on her computer and
copy them to mine? Many thanks.

The direct answer to your question is no. Try downloading the drivers from
the vendor's web site and re-install them on your laptop.
