Cannot open .exe files. I get the error message by side configuration is incorrect. Event log contains contradictory elements.

Please help me!

I have HP Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit. Cannot open .exe files. I get the error message by side configuration is incorrect. In the event log, it says error in manifest or policy file as a component version required by the application in conflict with one another component version already active. The two components are: c: Program Files\Viewer\Microsoft.VC80.CRT.MANIFEST.

Problems arise when I deleted some files (don't remember which) I am now myself for kicks. Then I completely restored my system with a restore cd, upgrading to vista, downloaded all the updates and everything else works fine only problem is the opening of .exe files. Can someone please help? I'm no computer wiz only right following the indications :)

Thank you.
