Hoi,

In de titel van je topic staat winsxs, in het bericht staat winsx. Wat bedoel je nu? Als er een map winsx op je pc staat, dan heb je een probleem. Maar de map winsxs moet je beslist niet weggooien:

Another problem area is DLLs:if one program installs a new version of a system DLL, Windows itself might stop working properly. System File Protection stops this; it isn't new to XP, but the Side-by-Side (SxS) technology for dealing with other DLLs is. Applications often overwrite common DLLs with their own version: if Office gives you a new version of the C runtime library and your voice-recognition software needs the previous version, it stops working. Software that needs its own particular version of a file can put it in a new folder in the Windows directory called WinSxS. For example, Windows XP comes with two versions of the COMCTL32 library and new applications may install other versions, but they go into WinSxS so each program gets the version of the file it needs.
