What year is the motherboard or laptop. If its more than 4 years old the new motherboards or laptops wont install windows xp sp3 drivers try getting a laptop or motherboard from 2008 to 2012
Windows is not recognizing the SMBus controller and needs the Intel chipset driver.
If you have backup media for your PC, look for the Intel Chipset driver on the backup CDs. You may also be able to download it from your PC manufacturer's website.
You should not NEED to install the chipset driver unless there are items in device manager such as (SMBUS controller) that show up with a yellow exclamation point or show up as unknown. Acer is (unfortunately) notorious for putting bluetooth switches and software on laptops that don't have have bluetooth cards from the manufacturer - these laptops are just "bluetooth ready" meaning you will need to install a bluetooth card for it to work.
