Guest MN Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I uninstalled some programs that I do not use anymore (not related to microsoft) and when I restarted the computer it says MSVCRT.DLL was not found. I did not receive a ME disk and not sure how to resotore this dll file so i can start Windows ME.
Guest Mike M Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Re: msvcrt.dll missing Your system could be seriously compromised if the file msvcrt.dll is missing from the folder C:\Windows|System since this file is protected against random deletion by Win Me's System File Protection mechanism. If SFP, and therefore also System Restore, are broken I would be concerned about the integrity of the system. Nevertheless try the steps outlined in MS KB299296 - "Error Message: Error Loading Explorer.exe You Must Reinstall Windows" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=299296) to reinstall the missing msvcrt.dll. Since you don't have a Win Me CD hopefully the CAB files mentioned in the KB are on your hard drive and located in either the C:\Windows\Options\Cabs or C:\Windows\Options\Install folder. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com MN <MN@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > I uninstalled some programs that I do not use anymore (not related to > microsoft) and when I restarted the computer it says MSVCRT.DLL was > not found.
