I note also that the error appeard whenever I use Real Player.How can I correct this error?1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi William S Dunn, - Do you get this error message only while you use Real Player?- Or do you notice this behavior while opening any other applications as well? You need not remove Visual C++ 2008 from your computer. Instead, I would suggest you to put your computer in Clean boot state to check if any particular application is causing this issue. Putting your system in clean boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. If yes, you may have to contact the program manufacturer for any updates or uninstall and re-install the program. Here’s the article you may refer to for steps with reference to the same. Use this link if you are using Windows XP:How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" stateNote: After troubleshooting, make sure to put the computer to start as usual as mentioned here:To configure Windows to use a Normal startup stateAfter you used the clean boot to resolve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally. a. Click Start, and then click Run.b. Type msconfig, and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box is displayed.c. Click the General tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services, and then click OK.d. When you are prompted, click Restart to restart the computer.

I am only getting this error in Event Viewer when Real Player is opened so I guess that application is causing the problem. I am not sire what can be done as I use this program. Would it help to uninstall and reinstall the program?Thanks

You can post the event information and see what is going on. It should tell you the exact file that is the problem.SideBySide is technology that lets you have multiples copies of different versions of files with the same name on your system at the same time (in sepatate folders of course). When an application needs a certain DLL (library file), it will pull it on demand from the correct folder.Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 has also been released since 4/2010. You can have more than one copy of MSVC installed at the same time and applications will pull the correct DLLs from the correct installation they need on demand.You can also check your Real Player to see if there is an update available for that and what version of MSVC++ it needs and be sure things match up.It sounds like something is a little out of sync, but the event details will tell you what is going on.You can look in your Add/Remove Programs to see what versions on MSVC++ you have installed currently.Here is the link for MSVC++ 2010:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=A7B7A05E-6DE6-4D3A-A423-37BF0912DB84&displaylang=enHere is a method to post the specific information about individual events.To see the Event Viewer logs, click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer.A shortcut to Event Viewer is to click Start, Run and in the box enter:%SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /sClick OK to launch the Event Viewer.The most interesting logs are usually the Application and System. Some logs such as Security and Internet Explorer may be completely empty or have only a few items. The default settings for XP is not to log all that activity unless you need to troubleshoot some issue in those areas. If you enable the logging for them the logs fill up quickly and could negatively effect your system performance with all the extra (usually unnecessary) activity.If you have Microsoft Office installed, it has its own logs and they may be empty or occasional boring activity or very little activity if there is no problem with your Office applications. This is normal.Not every event is a problem, some are informational messages that things are working okay and some are warnings.However, no event should defy reasonable explanation.Each event is sorted by Date and Time. Errors will have red Xs, Warnings will have yellow !s. Information messages have white is. Not every Error or Warning event means there is a serious issue. Some are excusable at startup time when Windows is booting. Try to find just the events at the date and time around your problem.If you double click an event, it will open a Properties window with more information. On the right are black up and down arrow buttons to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two pages on top of each other is used to copy the event details to your Windows clipboard.When you find an interesting event that occurred around the time of your issue, click the third button under the up and down arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, Paste or CTRL-V) the detail text back here for analysis. Remove any personal information from your informationafter pasting if you are compelled to do so.If you paste an Event, it will look something like this boring system startup event:Event Type: InformationEvent Source: Service Control ManagerEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 7035Date: 7/14/2010Time: 5:54:18 PMUser: JoseComputer: ComputerDescription:The Remote Access Connection Manager service was successfully sent a start control.For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.To get a fresh start on any Event Viewer log, you can choose to clear the log (backing up the log is offered), then reproduce your issue, then look at just the events around the time of your issue and troubleshoot the events that are happening when you have your issue. Do, or do not. There is no try.I decided to save up points for a new puppy instead of a pony!

Below are the Errors that showed up a couple of dozen times this morning when I opened Real Player. My Real Player is up to date and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 is installed on my cmputer but these errors persist. Any ideas on how I can correct these Errors would be appreciated.Thanks for all the good information.PS The puppy is a great idea!William S DunnEvent Type: ErrorEvent Source: SideBySideEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 59Date: 1/13/2011Time: 11:03:53 AMUser: N/AComputer: IBM-E36EC987699Description:Generate Activation Context failed for c:\program files\real\realplayer\plugins\rmxrend.dll.
