I think a possible reason for the lack of response is that the error appears to be specific to the game, and not a windows error. Windows 7 is merely reporting it. I am not familiar with the game, but from the error produced it seem like a corrupted file in the user section. I would say that a reinstall of the game would sort it.

I tried re-installing the game several times . . . still the same error ):

Just had a browse. Try and disable your antivirus (particularly if it is AVG) and restart and try again.

Okay, I use microsoft security essentials. . . . the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorre - Tech Support Forum I found that link on google, idk if it will help me ?!?!

Looks like good advice. They also suggest the Antivirus problem. Have you tried disabling MSE temporarily, to see if that is enough? Otherwise, if you have it, go for the C uninstall suggestion.

I tried everything you said, but in the end adding more C++ Redistributales fixed the problem! Thanx for all your help!!

I had same problem with Nero 9 after I had to do a restore. I reinstalled Windows Visual c++ 2005,2008,and 2010 then Windows updated them. Nero 9 works fine now. Hope this helps?
