Do you mean MSVCRT.DLL? It's a common problem, but you don't give enough
context (ie name of game etc) to give exact solution, as the game may
depend on a particular version of that DLL.

Google MSVCRT.DLL for an overview of solutions, or pair it up with the
name of your game for something more focussed.
 
Yup, it's a common problem indeed.

You can easily solve it though. Look for a folder called i386, it's usually
in your Windows folder or your system32 folder. Look for a file called
MSVCRT.DL_ in that folder, and copy that file somewhere convenient (I usually
put it on my desktop). rename the copied file to MSCVRT.CAB, open it, There's
your mscvrt.dll. Copy it to your system32 folder. If it asks for other files,
chances are they're in your i386 folder too, with the same naming scheme, and
yes you do have to repeat the steps of renaming it and copying it.

Usually the dll's from that folder works.. even though it might not be the
latest version.

If you can't find the files, Google them. There are a few sites offering
free dll downloads (not really recommended, since the files might be unsafe).
