I have an Acer Travelmate C204TMi Tablet and when I boot it up, I got the error message that the Bluetooth Driver has a "Setup Installation Error" message. And when I downloaded the driver and re-install it again, I got another error message "The application has failed to start because the btwhidcs.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this probem". I tried to re-install the driver again but the error message (including the Setup installation error) still appears every time I boot up my Acer Travelmate. Please see attached ppt file for a detailed explanation of the problem.

The Bluetooth Driver on my Acer is WIDCOMM v4.0.1.2304 dated 16/08/2005 (by Broadcom Corporation).

Please help me to resolve this problem. Thanks!

Regards,
Jeffho

Use add / remove to uninstall the bluetooth programme, but check you have access to everything you need to re-install it

Click start then all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up, then also from system tools, run disc defragmenter

Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit then select all, (all files will highlight), right click any file, click delete, confirm then reboot.

Download, install and run Tune Up 2006 Trial

Run Tune Up disc clean up

Run Tune Up registry clean up

Click Optimize and Improve to run Reg Defrag, the screen will lose colour during the process which can take a few minutes and then needs a reboot

Those will have cleared the drive of obsolete software errors

These are suggestions for making the most of the free trial

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot.

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to run system advisor
