New unknown in event viewer

Lately I have noticed a repeated error in my event viewer. It's listed under the system catagory with a source listed of "SideBySide".....the event's description is listed as "Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\MSN\MSNCoreFiles\PI\FngrPrnt.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully." I have searched, but can not find a good explanation or fix. Anyone know what this is, or how to fix?

 

When i google SideBySide most links indicate this as adware. Is there any other suspicius behaviour occurring on your system?

nope...no other problems.....i found that it may be something to do with microsofts visual c++ which i now uninstalled, so maybe that will get rid of it.....here's some info from microsoft's site..http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923014

 

i just checked my event viewer, and there is numerous event errors related to this again....still trying to solve.
