First off, I have not installed anything recently (windows update might have, but I have not added any new programs), I am running vista 64 business. Whenever I run my computer now, I am unable to run virtually any program. For some reason internet explorer 64, my sidebar and some windows apps work, but for the most part nothing will run. The error that I get is a side by side configuration error. After reading here and scouring the internet I ran sxstrace.exe and while it finds tons of errors it cant fix them, even when run in safe mode with elevated privileges. I then downloaded vcredlist to fix the issue, but unfortunately it is an .exe and wont run. Now, rolling back to a previous state doesnt fix the problem, and I cant do a repair install because I dont have access to a disk, and cant burn my .iso due to the whole cant run any programs issue. Any ideas for how I can fix the computer to run more than just basic functionality>? Any help is appreciated. -- srrehak |

Hi, Click start and type CMD, then right click the entry in the start menu and choose 'run as administrator'. From the prompt, run sfc /scannow. If you are unable to run these, restart the system and hit F8 at boot to access the boot menu. Choose safe mode with command prompt, this should eliminate interference from whatever virus or malware (they are the most likely causes of your problems) and allow the file verification process to run. You will likely want to run full scans with updated antivirus software as well. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "srrehak" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:b8553524378a433630b6f5781bab2dca@nntp-gateway.com... > > First off, I have not installed anything recently (windows update might > have, but I have not added any new programs), I am running vista 64 > business. > > Whenever I run my computer now, I am unable to run virtually any > program.
