Error Message MSVCP71.DLL was not found

Question

When my computer boots up I receive the following message 'A required .DLL file, MSVCP.71.DLL, was not found'  What does this mean?

ajedlicki,

The document here lists the applications that use that particular .dll file. The only one that seems logical for your system is .NET Framework 1.1. If you have that on your computer, reinstalling it should correct the problem causing the error.

hi there,

this page http://www.dll-files.com/ has that dll file.

you COULD try: (the following with modifications is from http://www.dll-files.com/support/faq.shtml) .

You need an unzip software in order to extract the dll-file from the zip-file you've downloaded.
Then use your unzipping utility to select the dll-file and extract it to your system directory. By default, this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP).
You may also put it in the directory of the program, that is asking for the file.
If putting it in the system directory isn't enough, you may need to use regsvr32 by the following way:
        1. Press Start and select Run
        2. Type CMD and press Enter(i never used the CMD command)
        3. Type regsvr32 "filename".dll and press Enter (you will be told it was registered or not but like dll files say sometimes just putting the dll in the correct folder works.)
