msvcrt.dll is a commonly used dll among MS Windows family. Lots of apps use it.

It sounds like wrong version of msvcrt.dll got installed on your machine. Do a Find on you hard drives to see if you can find different msvcrt.dll.

I am having the same problem and have actually found a place that has this dll file. In my case it was there but was bad. I contacted a few sites, they recommended renaming the one that was titled MSVCRT20.DLL
to the file name of MSVCRT.DLL. This made the issue worse. Without resorting to blowing up the machine I:

Downloaded the file from here:

http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/swadv/AdvResults.asp?form=medium&query=MSVCRT.DLL to a different directory.

Opened a msdos window, copying over the file since Windows thinks it is using the bad file.
Ran this at the "RUN" function on the computer:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system\MSVCRT.DLL

Rebooted.

I hope this helps.
