sidebyside 33 error

[elishaman]

I keep getting the following error in event log "sidebyside 33" and the details are:

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Verizon Wireless\VZAccess Manager\ATTExtension.DLL". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis. I am using a Verizon USB modem to access the internet and the software to run the modem is vz access manager. Also when I connect to the internet I get a box that pops up telling me that "windows has detected an ip address conflict". I have disabled the realtech Ethernet connection so I can not imagine what the conflict is. I have contacted Lenovo and they want $129 to do a clean up of my hard drive but my computer is only one month old. I have also contacted Verizon but they have been no help either.

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

1) Make sure that you have the latest version of vzaccess installed:
VZAccess Manager
If you already have the latest version installed, the move to step 2.

2) Check your list of installed programs for
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package
If it is not there - install it from here
Download: Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details
If it is there and the errors persist - re-install both vzaccess and the C++ software


For others that might find this thread and have a 32bit OS:
Download: Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details

I already have c++ 2008 and 2010 do I also need 2005?

sadly - yes.
Verizon has not updated that crappy application.

OK I downloaded the 2005 c++ and I still get the error message when i log onto the internet. "Windows has detected an IP address conflict". Any ideas?

But did the side by side errors stop?

As long as everything works - you can ignore that error or try this work around:

No, the sidebyside errors still appear in the event log.
