game will not run -fixed- was missing font

every time I try to run this game by any method I get the same error  This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem..

 

sadly re-installation does NOT fix this... nor do any of the updates. the game does not actually even TRY to run that error is instantaneous and no logs are made.

 

BTW I cannot search the forums so if this has been answered please refer me to that thread... hitting search on the forum page after entering my search criteria simply does nothing at all.

odd I found a web site talking about this error and it quoted a missing vc++ set of files mcvcr80.dll and such I found the dir in another game and moved it over just for kicks and now I still can't run the game but now I just get a flashed black screen and back to desktop instead of the previous message lol
