ok so i solved the problem and heres how to fix it incase anyone else encounters it.

go to the visual studio 2005 or 08 or watever your program requires folder in side your programs directory. in my case for dead space, it was under the "redistributables" folder in my game directory. reinstall the visual studio exe inside of there and it should all restart

the fact i didnt try that right away makes me feel a little dumb :P but i can see it being easy to overlook, especially when you look all over the internet and all the answers tell u to download ridiculous amounts of things or just reinstall your program :geek:

I am havingthe same problem, I am not very good with computers... But, I read about installing that Visual C++ 2008 only trouble is it gives me the same side-by-side compatibility message when I try to run any an all none 64 bit programs.

I'm using windows vista and after downloading and installing one of window's lastest updates for the system I started receiving this side-by-side error. I know enough about computers to be able to follow directions if they're in layman's terms, unfortunately most of the help I've found through google goes way over my head.

After the last update I can't get yahoo messenger, windows live messenger, matlab, or my antivirus software to run. Everytime I try to open them I just get another pop up telling me there's a side-by-side error. Any help I could get resolving this would be appreciated!!

There is no ANSWER. The QUESTION is why Microsoft forced an update down our throats that disabled MSN Messenger. Since *I* cant get on, the people I talk to now need to start using a DIFFERENT messenging system. Someone needs to explain to me how driving us to another service is good for Microsoft OR users, cause I'm not "gettin' it".
