    side byside configuration error in office 2010


    i thought i would take a break from trying to get office to work, so, i installed CallofDuty Black Ops on the computer and the problem went away. it seem that the game had visualc++ 2010 reddistributable and by installing that it fixed the problem. odd isnt it?

    Didn't you fix this back in December, the 28th to be precise?

    Still, it's good of you to share it.
