Application failed to start - side-by-side configuration incorrect
I'm having trouble some programs on my Vista machine. They used to work -
not sure what has happened as I don't recall a crash or anything...
1. Try to open a program
2. Error message displayed: The application has failed to start because its
side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application log for
more details.
It is affecting the following programs (at least - may be more but I haven't
tried everything. Microsoft and built in system tools and games open up ok):
Asus Splendid Bachache (utility that comes with the laptop)
Adobe Reader (I've reinstalled this but with no success)
Adobe Photoshop
When I open the Event Viewer from the Control Panel the following message is
displayed:
MMC could not create the snap-in. The snap-in might not have been installed
correctly. Name: Event Viewer. CLSID:
FX{b05566ad-fe9c-4363-be05-7a4cbb7cb510}
Thanks.
