I installed Crazy Talk standard after purchase, had a quick play to get the feel of it and everything seemed to be working fine. After rebooting I now get the message "Unable to start your application due to a side by side configuration error"

Can anybody offer any advice or solution to this problem, it would be much appreciated.

Make sure your OS is up-to-date by visiting http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com with Internet Explorer.

Any errors reported on the DirectX Diagnose? Start > Run > DxDiag [Enter]

I had a similar problem with another application, the installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update (see Microsoft Knowledgebase 973544) solved the problem in my case.

Hope this helps.
