Boom! It Was There A Minute Ago - Hawk Kriegsman - 09-12-2020 Well my 8 year old PC bit the dust hard today. Had to send the hard drive to a repair center in hopes that they can recover irreplaceable items. So I might be delayed on turns for a bit as I get things set up on my new machine. Stay safe and back up your data. 
RE: Boom! It Was There A Minute Ago - Hawk Kriegsman - 09-12-2020 Gonna need some help on this. Go this error when I tried to run EF, RS or WF. "The application has failed to start because it's side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail." I downloaded this from the Matrix website and added the patches. I have no idea what to do from here. I am marginally computer literate. RE: Boom! It Was There A Minute Ago - RedDevil - 09-12-2020 You need one of those cheapy back up mobile USB HDDs... put all you stuff on it, and reload when the WestD and Seagate choke.. Sorry to hear you had a loss, we all take chances, other wise we wouldn't be wargamers.. ey? LMK if I can help you reload scenarios, Eric, I got a shitload on CD. Dev RE: Boom!

Probably too late, but this place is supposed to be incredible: https://www.300dollardatarecovery.com/ If/when you replace the hard drive, get a solid state one (SSD). No moving parts and rarely fail. RE: Boom! It Was There A Minute Ago - Scud - 09-12-2020 (09-12-2020, 11:08 AM)RedDevil Wrote:(09-12-2020, 10:55 AM)Hawk Kriegsman Wrote: Gonna need some help on this. This is the one you want: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29 Install it and try again. If it doesn't work, uninstall the game, then reinstall. Make sure you have the latest patch. Dave RE: Boom! It Was There A Minute Ago - Crossroads - 09-12-2020 Thanks Dave, yes, side by side error most often has to do with needing to install the VC++ 2008 redistributables. Good luck, Hawk, hopefully that helps! RE: Boom! It Was There A Minute Ago - Hawk Kriegsman - 09-13-2020 Dave you are the best.  That fixed it right up and I am good to go. Hopefully the tech folks will be able to recover my data. They had to send my hard drive to a lab. Thanks to all. RE: Boom! It Was There A Minute Ago - Outlaw Josey Wales - 09-13-2020 If you don't have one, get one.....external hard drive. If your puter fails, plug into anther one and play until your main is fixed or new one is purchased. No reinstall involved. I've been using one for at least 10 yrs and it has failed 1 or 2 times. All I had to do was buy a new power cord, 20-30 bucks and I was good. The drive itself has never failed. It also keeps you puter from getting too much stuff on it. Highly recommend one. RE: Boom! It Was There A Minute Ago - Warhorse - 09-13-2020 I have 3 externals, a 6tb, 2tb. and a 1tb, I throw all my valuable stuff on two of them, hopefully both don't go at once then!! |
