Hello Scraapy84,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. To begin with, please attach a dxdiag report to this ticket:

  1. Open the Start menu
  2. Write "dxdiag"
  3. Press enter
  4. A window will open
  5. Click "Save all information"
  6. You will get a text file - that's what we need

Also, could you attach a screenshot of the error message please?

Thanks,
JStewart

I actually got a fix to this problem. I had to delete Razer Synapse!

Side-by-side config error is an issue with the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries and can occur with any application that uses VC++.

Alright, I'll close the ticket then. Thanks for getting back on the issue Scraapy84. In case you encounter any further problems, please feel free to submit a new ticket.
