Error and shut down - MSVCRT.dll

G

Guest

Hello, I posted a bit ago about my IE6 shutting down with error messages on
most sites. It always came up with minimal info in error report. I tried
doing virus scans ect but to no avail, and this time the error report sites
the modname as msvcrt.dll Modver:7.0.2600.2180 offset:00037c7e

Anybody know what I should do? I am working on downloading other adware
scanners as Adaware hasnt let me scan all my harddisk as THAT shuts down half
way thru. Tearing my hair out now!!

Hi James :)

Try the information below and see if it helps:

MSCVRT.DLL Problems - Missing File:

What this message usually means is that this file is damaged or corrupted
in some way. You could try downloading and replacing this file again from
here which will normally fix this problem
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/d...es.shtml?msvcrt

To replace the file do the following:

NOTE: before doing any of this, you must have a file extraction program
(such as "WinZip" or "WinRar") AND you must have the "Hide file extensions
for known file types" turned OFF. Here is how to do this:
1) Open Windows Explorer, click on Tools, click on "Folder Options...".
2) in the "Folder Options" window, click on the "View" tab at the top.
3) click on the "Show hidden files and folder", or "Show all files" button
so that all hidden and system files are visible.
4) make sure "Hide file extensions for known file types" is UNCHECKED.

Then......

1) download the replacement MSVCRT.DLL file to a folder somewhere on your
computer (or to the desktop).
2) Extract the file using something like WinZip or WinRar.
3) Rename the file by "Right clicking" on it and selecting "Rename", rename
it to "msvcrt.new".
4) Cut and Paste the "msvcrt.new" file into your "C:\Windows\System" folder,
(simply "Right Click" the "msvcrt.new" file and select "Cut", then open an
Explorer window or just any file window, and at the top where it says
"Address" type "C:\Windows\System", then just "Right Click" in the File area
and select "Paste")
5) (This part is gonna take timing) now restart your computer, and as soon
as the "Shut Down" screen goes away keep pressing the "F8" and/or "Ctrl"
keys repeatedly as fast as you can untill the "Selective startup menu"
appears. (you'll know this menu because it will be a black and white text
menu with about 5 options, one of which will be "Command Prompt only" or
something like that.)
6) from the selective startup menu, select command prompt only, this will
bring you to the old MS-Dos prompt.
7) Type "cd windows\system" and hit "Enter".
8) Type "ren msvcrt.dll msvcrt.old" and hit "Enter".
9) Type "ren msvcrt.new msvcrt.dll" and hit "Enter".
10) Restart your computer either with the "Reset" button or the
"Ctrl-Alt-Del" method. This should reset your system and have resolved the
problem.

If the above does not resolve the issue, you might also try the following
and see if the information here will help

Here is information on this Library:

and offer downloads for updates.

Hello Jan
I have noticed all of my msvcrt.dll files (and there are a few -e.g
mscvrt20, mscvrt40, mscvrt(2)...) are in the system32 folder, not the system
folder. Does that mean I do everything you said exactly, or shall I cut and
paste the new mscvrt file into the system32 folder instead and in the
selective startup menu write cd windows\system32 instead. If you could let
me know that would be helpful. thanks.

You did not mention the version of windows you are using, but, in both my
Windows 2000 and XP Pro, it shows the system mscvrt.dll file to be in the
System32 folder. If you have either of these versions, then I would suggest
that you copy the new file to that folder. It is only the mscvrt.dll file
that you want to replace.
