Witcher 2 was running fine a few days ago and then all of a sudden the 142 error popped up when trying to launch, I have not done anything new to my pc so i can't seem to figure out how to fix this, try uninstalling .net and reinstalling but no help. Anyone have a fix for this?

Update video drivers.
Update Visual C++.
Install latest game updates.
Run Witcher 2 as administrator.

Try that, if it doesnt work then scour the net for this error.

All of that has been done, I am trying to find a way to run the game without constant un-installing and re-installing. But thank you for your feedback.

Yes, I have re-installed the .net framework and I have no toolbars installed.

And you tried everything suggested here http://en.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?/topic/26150-patch-21-issues/ and applied the .net hotfix? http://en.thewitcher.com/dotnet/

That patch does nothing for me, I think I may have to re-install

Tried a fresh install, same error

Any help? Do I need to reformat just to play a damn game?
Edit: magically working now after several reinstalls and hotfixes
