That is the MS scoop on sidebyside. (You can also GOOGLE side by side error for much, much more)
Other sources are technical, but some seem to point to a corrupted DLL file.
Perhaps, doing a REPAIR of windows OR a restore to before you started to install the HPS games. Then reinstall the games.
(I moved the topic out of the Smoking Room to give a wider viewing.)
I do not think it is an error related to the HPS games, per se.

Thanks Ernie
Googling returned many hints, most of which point to the need for Visual C++ file.
Odd thing is after I installed another HPS game, everything resolved itslef. After thinking about I realize that the first game I installed ( a game I am play testing ) <u><b>may not</b></u> have installed DirectX but the second game did. I could be wrong [:D]
