Hello,
I am using Windows 7 x64 on an Acer 8943g laptop and I was browsing the Event Viewer. I noticed a stack of errors with same nature. These may be caused by some rarely used programs or apps on my machine. I have posted a snap shot of the error in Event Viewer with sample.
I noticed this errors before but didn't pay any attention to it, but now it's starting to get me worried. By the way, I found that the nature of one of the errors is to "get a detailed explanation from sxstrace.exe”. I found it from Start Menu and the command prompt window just disappeared after a short flash when I tried to open it. I don't know what to do with these errors.
Thank you in advance.
“SideBySide” errors on Event Viewer
Hi,
Since the command prompt has disappeared after a while opening it there may be chances of system getting affected with viruses or malware. For this please do this
-
Check for viruses with Anti Virus software, If found please remove it.
-
Update the system with 'windows software updates'.
For the problem with errors in Event Viewer you may follow these steps
-
Use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to confirm which file causing the problem and then replace the file.
For this open a command prompt and run this as an administrator, If prompted for password, type the password then click ENTER. Then type the following command in command prompt and press ENTER.
sfc /scannow
It scans all protected system files and replaces the incorrect versions files with correct Microsoft versions.
-
Side by Side errors may come from comparability issues of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistribute. Please uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistribute from Control Panel->Programs->Programs and Features and in reinstall latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistribute version in the system.
If the above doesn't resolve the issue please do a clean installation of OS by inserting Windows 7 Cd into the system.
Thanks.
