Guest David Schwartz Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I uninstalled a number of programs from an old computer for my wife to use and now a number of programs, notably, Outlook Express gives me the error message that it can't find the file MSVCR70.dll. I did some research on the file and I know that it belongs in the Windows System32 folder. I have another computer networked to this one that has the file where it belongs. Can I just copy the file from this computer into her computer's System 32 folder and solve the problem or will that create another problem, like a registry problem that will make me wish I never woke up this morning or do I have to go through some anal Windows procedure to get the file where it belongs? Oh yeah, they are both running XP. Thanks in advance. -- David Schwartz Commack, NY

Oh yeah, they are both running XP. Thanks in advance. You sure can. Just to be sure you should make sure that they're both at the same Service Pack level. That file is unlikely to have been changed but it is better safe than sorry. -- Galen (Not Current MS-MVP) My Geek Site: http://kgiii.info Web Hosting: http://whathostingshould.be "In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock Holmes

Guest David Schwartz Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Re: MSVCR70.dll missing Not yet. There was an old Norton 2004 in the computer which I uninstalled a few days ago. Was going to put in 2008 soon. Should I? "Peter Foldes" <okf22@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:%23OhA3brFJHA.3288@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...

Guest Peter Foldes Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Re: MSVCR70.dll missing There you go This issue was created by Norton which you un-installed a few days ago. I suggest you re-install Norton (same version) and then use their uninstall Tool which is available on their site to remove it correctly and almost completely -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Norton is a notorous tool to get rid of. Norton provide an removal tool on their website which is in fact the only way to shift it. Re-install it and then run their removal tool. > Was going to put in 2008 soon.
