Last thread I only wanted to know how to restore my comp to factory settings. Refer to my previous thread for Computer specifications. Anyway, while trying to install Fallout 3, I click on the fallout 3 launcher.exe and it says E:\ Side by side config is incorrect etc etc. What do? Oh and trying to install the C++ redistributables doesnt work since an error appears.

Hello!
Can you please follow some of the guidance from this thread: http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/283887-side-side-configuration.html
Also, could you please copy the error word for word? Was it an error 1935, by any chance?
Thanks, and the very best of luck!

Hello Headcrabs there are a couple of ways to do a restore.
Fisrt try and go back at least 5 days before the problem started and do a computer restore. If That does not work and you want to do a full factory restore then you will need to have either the factory recovery disk's or the full purchase program disk's and you put it in to the drive and then turn off your computer, then reboot and when the instructions come up on your screen it will guide you through the process, a full factory restore takes a while to do.
However I do agree with Niemiro 100% and I recommend you follow his advice first before doing the restore.
I would also do a full AV scan plus download malwarbytes and run a full scan so you can mark those off the list, this way it will tell us if you have been infected.
