Hello

I have had a bit of a lawnmowercable 'mare, culminating in me having to reinstall windows. I reinstalled Coh, and it was working fine. Took me about a week to get my pc back to how I liked it. Then I realised that windows update was failing. Found a suggested fix, and did a reinstallation of windows over the top of the existing one. Spent the whole day updating, making sure windows was safe. Reinstalled drivers. Did a clean reinstall of games. Now none of my games games work (different problem on each one)

I have Windows 7 64.

The full message is:

"c:\programme data\microsoft\windows\game explorer\{lots of numbers}play.lnk

The application jhas failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command line systrace.exe tool for more detail"

Cant find any event log generated, not sure what systrace.exe is

IS there anyone who knows what this is or how to fix it?
