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:

Thank you for the information, Jan. I'll reply after I attempt replacing the
file - I see now, that the command prompt step replaces the old file with the
new. After that's done, and the computer is restarted, should I delete the
'msvcrt.old' file?

If all is working fine, yes, just delete the old file.

Hi Jan,
I believe this replacement has fixed my problem. Just wanted to thank you
again, and let you know one problem I had with your instructions. After
extracting the file (step 2) I was not clear on exactly what to rename to
"msvcrt.new" - was it the zip file? or the file that opened in the new
window? (I couldn't find an easy right click or rename choice) - but somehow
or other it ended up working... Thanks again.

You're very welcome! Glad to hear you were able to resolve your problem.
Good job!

The only file you needed to rename was the original one, the file you were
going to replace. The new one would have installed with the correct name,
which it obviously did for you. If you wish, you can keep the old renamed
file for a day or so just to be sure, it won't cause any problems as is.
Then if all is still running ok, you can simply delete it.

Thank you for posting back and letting us know what worked for you, and for
the benefit of other readers who might have a similar problem. :)
