Question Posted Thursday January 15 2009, 7:02 pm

I'm having a serious issue with some of my programs. Yesterday they were all working just fine!

When I try to open the following programs:
Windows Live Messenger
Yahoo Messenger
Mahjong Garden Deluxe
Tri Peaks Solitare 2

I get the following message:
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I uninstalled, then reinstalled Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. This did not fix the problem.
I even did a system restore back to yesterday, which said it changed nothing. I then restored back to Saturday, which fixed nothing.
I did virus scans yesterday, so I checked my quarantine chests and restored a couple of system volume file things. That did nothing, either.

I run Windows XP, and am left scratching my head, here.

Help?

Thanks!

Make sure you have Java installed on your computer, Some applications do not right without the Java.

If you restored your computer, Try restoring back to an earlier date to restore any possible missing files.

If you have a pop-up blocker, Temporarly allow pop-ups for the current site. (Sometimes Yahoo messenger will not work properly if you have a pop-up blocker)


Try this and see what happens
