I was chasing a chkdsk error, but Windows Logs Application showed me 17 SideBySide errors:

I've put it here so it's a real bug

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\K-Meleon\k-meleon.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.7601.17514_none_41e6975e2bd6f2b2.manifest. Component 2: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.7601.17514_none_fa396087175ac9ac.manifest.

I wish we could have attachments here, it's so much more convenient!

Anyway, the short answer is that one or mor manifest files need to be re-written to cope with x64 boxes. The errors are not in themselves fatal, but they could be indicators of future real problems.

BTW, this version is very welcome!!!

You place attachments in Your other posts in Forums where they are allowed and link.

p.s. Or send them by mail to a willing admin. Must be less than 512 kb here.
But I prefer that You post them in other Forums. Check which has the best permissions.

I cannot check - my permissions are different. Not matter what I do - the Forum always knows what privileges I have.

guenter, my 11 yo user name = my admin name, which is a different name - less yo.

Yes. I was thinking about DropBox.

In Forum it is not deleted after a while. So dropbox is not always the solution.

p.s. Up too early - since 05.11 h Central European Time. Another hour until I can do anything productive.
