:huh: Okay so my computer started not letting me open up just about any applications. For example I cannot open steam / Skype / Speccy / But I can open Internet Explore / paint / and some others. When I try opening up a APPLICATION (STEAM) it won't work and it gives me this error.
( C:\Programe Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe ->
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. )
I first tried setting back my computer, fixed it for a couple or hours and then went back. Then every reset after that, the problem never went away. I tried reinstalling windows 7 from my USB and it may have briefly worked, but once I did all the updates for windows it happened again. Some of the windows updates would failed. Such as ->
Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243)
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 for Windows 7 x64-based Systems (KB2901983)
Further research made me believe that these updates were causing the problem and I was missing a file, I tried downloading some of them from the internet windows site but they where unable to install or download due to a problem.
I have tried to do sfc \clean and \regclean.
I could use any help at this time and I would be very appreciate.
