Yes, I left out important details.

First, download SPEU.exe from Microsoft.

Then click on it to run it. SPEU.exe is a self un-packing, self installing set of files including MSVCRT.dll. The obsolete versions of MSVCRT.dll misallocate memory on occasion and blow up programs as happened for you. SPEU.exe will put the correct version of it into \Windows\System.

Then use Find and find all the other versions of MSVCRT.dll and delete them. Or if you wish, replace them with the 285 KB version.

Do not delete MSVCRT10.dll, MSVCRT20.dll, MSVCRT30.dll or MSVCRTD.dll or variants such as that. They are there (if at all) for running old programs. That is a program written in Visual C 1.0 (for Win3.x) will look for MSVCRT10.dll.
