After installing some Windows updates (one of which was for C++ Runtime), every time I try to launch Power Manager an error pops up:

"Runtime Error, R6034, An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."

I've tried reinstalling C Runtime from MS and Power Manager but it hasn't helped. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Are you runnind 32-bit or 64-bit os? Try uninstalling power manager before reinstalling

32-bit XP Pro. I've tried uninstalling both and reinstalling, still getting the same problem. Sometimes the error will come once before I even login (maybe for Fingerprint scanner?) and then it'll come again after logging in when Power Manager loads. The gauge displays fine, but the program won't launch.

I've head the same error, and I am sure there is a more elegant solution, but this is how I managed to fix this (I also posted this over here):

• uninstall every single MS Framework / Redistributable on your PC, including: VS C++ 2005 / 2008 Redistributable, .Net 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 Framework, XNA Framework Redistributable, restart after this
• clean all .Net remnants from your PC using .NET Framework Cleanup Tool - you might have to execute this several times - at least I had to.
• run a / several registry cleaning utility(s) (might not be necessary)
• remove any .Net Files and Directorys left on your PC (search your filesystem for .Net)
• execute the.NET Framework Cleanup Tool once again (might not be necessary)
• reboot one final time
• install the Visual C++ 2005 Redist.
• Install the MS .Net Frameworks using the .Net 3.5 Framework Redistributable stand alone
• reboot
• install all the updates Windows now offers
• enjoy your working Power Manager again.

I hope this will help at least some people.
