Problem with msvcrt.dll

[Guest]

I recently picked up Throne of Darkness (a Japanese-themed action RPG) from a
bargain bin, and I'm having trouble getting it to run properly. When I run
the program, I get an error message saying "The procedure entry point
??_V@YAXPAX@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll" -
around ten times, and then the program starts. However, the screen flickers
rather badly, particularly when I move the mouse. I've noted that the file
msvcrt.dll exists in a number of versions in various program folders,
including the relevant game folder, but I don't suppose I could replace it
with a different version?

I'm running Windows XP professional, SP2 - I suspect this may be at the
heart of the matter, since the game is too old to support Windows XP.

Make a backup of the dll in the game folder and try copying some of the
different versions in there, ya never know, might fix it.

Well, it got rid of the error message, but the flickering is still there.
Seems like I had two unrelated issues to deal with. Time to bust out the
video troubleshooting procedures, I guess.
