Yahoo Messenger trouble!! msvcp71.dll

I was PMing a few people on Yahoo Messenger when all of a sudden it began to
lag while I typed in one person's PM. I would type what I wanted to send and
hit enter but after I hit enter there would be a 1.5 second delay. I signed
out of Yahoo, signed back in, but it still had the delay. I restarted my PC
and signed back into Yahoo and there was still a delay. Then I uninstalled
Yahoo Messenger and after that I tried deleting the Yahoo folder in Program
Files but it said "Cannot delete msvcp71: Access is denied. Make sure the
disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in
use." So I couldn't delete the Yahoo folder before reinstalling Yahoo
messenger again. I did a search and I found msvcp71.dll is also located in
Program Files/WINDOWS/system32.

Is this file the reason certain people I PM in Yahoo take me 1.5 seconds
after I hit Enter to receive message? How can I remove it if this is the
problem?

I also have that file but don't use yahoo messenging. You may be able to
delete it in safemode but it may affect other programs. Why not reinstall
yahoo messenger and see if it now works.
