How to Replace Msvcrt.Dll

1. Open your Web browser. Navigate to a page where you can download a free version of msvcrt.dll. A link to one of these download locations can be found in the Resources section below. When you get to the page, click the download link and follow the on-screen prompts to save the file to your computer.
2. Double-click the downloaded file to open it in Winzip or whichever program your computer uses to open .zip files. Click the 'Extract' button and select your desktop as the location to which you want to extract the file.
3. Double-click the 'My Computer' icon and browse through the file system to the Windows system folder. The default location of this folder depends on which version of Windows you're using. If you use 32-bit versions of XP or Vista, navigate to 'C:\Windows\System32.' If you use the 64-bit versions of either of these systems, navigate to 'C:\WindowsSysWOW64' instead. In Windows 2000 and NT, you can find the system folder at 'C:\WINNT\System32.' In Windows ME, 95 and 98, the folder is located at 'C:\Windows\System.'
4. Drag the msvcrt.dll file from your desktop into the system folder. You might be asked if you would like to replace an existing file of the same name; if so, click 'Yes.'
5. Restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
