Use another computer to download MalwareBytes at Download.com and after
installing it, then update it then do a scan of your computer. See what is finds and delete them. Good Luck. -- Computer/Software Tech. Make it a great day!

If it has an Undo feature, use it and then uninstall it. Read this thread for details about registry cleaners: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 Your "side-to-side configuration" error is explained well by MVP Mark Ferguson: "Side by Side architecture uses a trick in a file called a 'manifest' to call a special system file instead of the regular Vista system file (a .dll). The error is saying that finding that special dll written for that application is not working somehow. (side-by-side configuration is incorrect)[.....] Something has changed those special application files. Perhaps disk corruption, perhaps conflict with something new." While I never rule out malware completely on a Windows machine, that isn't the first thing I'd look at in your case. Since this could be hardware (bad RAM, failing hard drive are the first suspects) or software (something you installed hosed the system), please post back with some more details about your computer and its recent history so we can narrow down the troubleshooting. The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't? In the meantime, make sure your data is backed up. Since you can still get into Windows, you can copy files to an external hard drive or USB thumb drive for safe-keeping.

Jelious, Peasant Fool. You are a joke. You make all us MVP look bad. You
