Side by side problem, help please!!

[OranyMontana]

Sup y'all, I have some troubles launching BC2, when i launch it, an error pops up and this is what it says:
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield Bad Company 2\BFBC2Game.exe

This application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

Ive searched on google before posting this, and I Updated everything on my PC (Framework, Visual C++, windows updates, GPU drivers) everything. My PC is more than capable to running BC2, I need help please!

Im using Windows vista ultimate service pack 2

If you need more information, post

PS: sorry for my bad english.

Are you sure you installed the Visual C++ Redistributables 2005, 2008 and 2010 (x64/x86)?

EDIT: Merged both topics, warned for double-posting.

I have them all and x64 its for 64 bits and x86 its the 32bits right?

[OranyMontana]

I finnally fixed this issue, I deleted all versions of Visual C++ and reinstalled them. But now im having a new problem -_-, my PC keeps rebooting by itself whenever I join a game. The game starts and after 1-2 seconds, my PC shuts down, any ideas?

Sorry for disturbing :/

Do you have a Realtek soundchip ?

Your settings could've been messed up. Try deleting your GameSettings.bin and setting your DxVersion to "9" in the Settings.ini.

[OranyMontana]

Yeah

[Kerrigan]

Well, Realtek onboard soundchips are causing issues within games using FrostBite engines.

Try the following:

Disable the sound device and join a game with the device entirely shut down.
If the system is not rebooting itself your soundchip is causing the issue.

[OranyMontana]

Well, this problem occure with other games to, nfs most wanted 2012, gta 4

[Kerrigan]

Does it even work with the sound device disabled ?
