Use the windows explorer to find all instances of bwcc.dll on your hard drive (some programs may bring their own version of this file) and copy the most recent version into your "\system" subdirectory (not the system32 subdirectory). Delete all other versions of bwcc.dll, if present, otherwise you might run into problems at some point.
