clutch 1 Posted November 28, 2000 Sounds like you had a program that may have overwritten that file with a "new and improved" version, then rendered it inoperative with other programs. That, or it may just be corrupt. Either way, I would just install (or re-install) SP1 to see if I could get it back. Funny though, I would have thought that Win2K would have that file as "protected", and would either block it, or reinstall it after the application that overwrote was finished installing. This leads me to believe that the file may just be corrupt. ------------------ Regards, clutch Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted November 28, 2000 or virus...I recall having a PE_CIH virus on my computer that made every EXE inoperable (is that a word?)...anyways, could be that, doubt it though if you have a antivirus program that's up to date. Share this post Link to post

FKTOAST 0 Posted November 29, 2000 You can either replace the MSVCRT.dll file or check this article out http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/winnt/winntas/technote/migrate/mgapnt52.asp ------------------ Frank A+, Windows 98 and NT MCP Share this post Link to post

clutch 1 Posted December 2, 2000 Whenever I have a system problem like that, I reinstall the last service pack that I used on it. It fixes the problem about 85% of the time. ------------------ Regards, clutch Share this post Link to post
