Help! Everything that can go wrong is going wrong! Upon starting my system, Ia window opens and states" A required dll file C:\\windows\system\MSVCRT40.DLL was not found". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sheila

Sheila,

Time to slow down and concentrate on fixing one problem at a time. Takes Patience.

Click START button, click FIND, click Files or Folders. In the Named box type  MSVCRT40.dll. 
select C: for the Look IN box, click find now.

The file should be found in C:\Windows\System. If found elsewhere, Right click on 
the File and click copy.  Now open Windows Explorer, scroll down to the Windows Folder, 
left click on the Word Windows, to open the Windows Folder in the Right Pane. 

Scroll down to the System Folder. Left click to highlight System Folder, then right 
click  to display the context menu, and click Paste.

Close and reopen Windows Folder, then right click on System folder, choose explore 
& see if you can find the file in System folder. If so, restart your computer and 
see if the error goes away.

Post back with results..

Just a hint, you're posting too many problems in different Threads. try keeping things 
in one Thread.  Makes it too hard to keep up and no guarantee anyone will read all 
your posts.

IF YOU DO NOT FIND THE FILE, you'll have to get it from either your Win98 CD, another 
Win98 Computer or via eMail or download from the Internet to a floppy.

Are you familiar with running System File Checke in Win98?

There's nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you. _________________________________________________________
