I've had this error come up for over 3 months now and nothing i seem to do can fix it, when i try to open windows live messenger this error comes up. The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail. I have windows vista and can not fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
However, you have to get through the CPA Exam first. The Exam is divided into four sections which are taken one section at a time. 1  Financial accounting and reporting (FAR). 2  Auditing and attestation (AUD). 3  Business environment and concepts (BEC). 4  Regulation (REG).
NASBA also recommends downloading exam review materials to your mobile device, so that you can review them in free moments throughout the day to better retain the information. You might also try manually writing cue cards with study materials. Study time for the CPA exam is about 500 hours in total. The FAR section will take about 180 hours of study, while AUD and REG need about 130 hours, each. BEC is generally considered the easiest section, and will only take about 100 hours of study.
