c++ freEze

my pc tends to freeze when i quit et; google gave me this: http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/de/forum/showthread.php?tid=153934
the solution appears to be to install some service packs for some c++ stuff, however i have no idea what that is and how to find the ones i need..
so could someone explain me how to find them and/or link the ones for xp home (version 2002) sp2?

Thanks very much in advance :)

I believe its this :) try updating it.

The only program that windows HAS to have to run most games is called "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (or 2008) redistributable" in your software list.
QuoteHAS to have to run

?
with sp1 or not? and only install one of them? as in my link in the topic he tells him to get both..
Parent
just download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 (i got both aswell) redistributable for your operating system. Can't be that hard to just do it?
Parent
