I guess this section fits the thread best.

Okay I got GCF scape, and I installed it, but it says it needs Framework to run. that's framework 1.1
I however have Framework 2.0, If I don't have framework 2.0 my video drivers aren't supported and my system systematically crashes piece by piece. But it's looking like if I don't have framework 1.1 then I cant get GCF files...

Thus we seem to have reached a point once again where Microsofts "update" has caused programs to conflict.

It may be a problem with the version of GCFScape.

I use .NET Framework 2.0 (or maybe even 3.0... but certainly not 1.1) and GCFScape works fine for me.

I have both installed so that's probably your solution.

ahh, yup your right. There is an updated version of GCF scape for framework 2.0 (I missed the magic words in google the first few times.)
Released Nov23rd 2008

Thanks.

the idea of the framework was to have a better backwards compatibility relationship between Windows and other Software, So in theory there shouldnt have been an issue with you using 2.0 with a program designed on 1.1

Looks like you might be right.
I got the GCF framework 2.0 version and am still getting the same error.

Nuke mars? That's the best joke I've heard all day. Then again, I've only been up for about an hour.
