The first thing I'd do is run MSCONFIG (link above). After that, start apps **as you need them**. Windoze's Startup time will be improved and troubleshooting complexity reduced. If you suspect an app (Yahoo's) is throwing the error, uninstall that app and reinstall it. The dependencies should be reinstalled--and in the locations the app requires.

Well msvcr71.dll doesn't register and if its in your C:\Windows\System folder then it should find it. msvcr71.dll is for Microsoft® C++ Runtime Library which is used on most Windows applications. Is there anything else not running apart from Yahoo? [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: MSVCR71.DLL Problem?

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 at 2:36 am Posted by Zachery Speight (5 messages posted) I tried as suggested, and I received this message saying, "LoadLibrary("msvcr71.dll")failed. GetLastError returns 0x00000002. I also wonder if this is connected to why my MS Office will not open up but only in safe mode? Thank you.

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 at 8:30 pm Posted by ancien (61 messages posted) Msvcr71.dll is used by Microsoft Office version 2002 & 2003, but also by some non-Microsoft applications. On my Win98SE system the file stamp is 12/19/2004 at 5:29 p.m. One other .dll file with the same date and time is msvcp71.dll. You might try checking to see if you have msvcp71.dll and if it matches the date and time for the copy of msvcr71.dll that you downloaded. If the date does not match, look for which program has the same date and time as your version of msvcp71.dll. (You can't match to msvcr71.dll because you inserted that yourself.) On my system msvcr71.dll appears to be associated with AVG Free 7.5 which, though uninstalled, left behind an empty file folder and AVG Free Virus Vault.lnk with that date and time stamp. If you have installed and then uninstalled AVG, use the registry part of Ccleaner and see if remnants of AVG are still in the registry. If so, install AVG 7.5 Free again and see if that fixes the error message. If so, use task manager to be certain no part of AVG is running when you uninstall the program. It might be wise to uninstall while in safe mode.

Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 1:44 am Posted by Ms. Eagle (33640 messages posted) That DLL file is part of Visual Basic C Runtime library 7.1 and is included with any program written in that particular programming language. You may have several copies of it in various locations, in whatever directory the program/s are installed in. Reinstall Pager if that's a problem, since adding a copy in it's directory didn't help. As for Office only loading in Safe mode that doesn't make any sense. Had you recently uninstalled a program, before that error message started coming up? It's possibly something still listed in your startups, that no longer exists and was only partially removed. That includes malware. Otherwise, to eliminate that message at startup, you need to eliminate the associated program from startup. Uncheck everything loading at startup, leaving only necessary apps, e.g. firewalls or AV programs.

Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 10:04 pm Posted by Zachery Speight (5 messages posted) When I tried to reinstalled AVG 7.5, I get this message---"Local machine: installation failed Initialization: Error: Checking of state of the item file msvcr71.dll_W9x failed.

I do believe that AVG is the reason for my problems---can't open up MS Office without getting this message "The operating system is not configured to run this application". But Office will open in safe mode. Thanks for any solutions.

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 9:45 pm Posted by Ms. Eagle (33640 messages posted) It seems to me the logical thing to do is to get rid of AVG, if you think it's the cause of the problem, or post on AVG's support forum. I don't have a link on hand, but a simple Google search for AVG forum, will no doubt get you there. We can't help with the re-installation problem. Of course, AVG isn't the only AV program out there.

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 at 10:31 pm Posted by ancien (61 messages posted) Hi Zachery - You did not give much feedback about what you have done. Did you try the registry scan using CCleaner? Did you find any remnants of AVG still on your system? Did you find msvcp71.dll on your system? Did you reinstall AVG while in safe mode? What version did you install? Is it the same installation file you used originally? Since you are also having problems with MS Office, have you tried to reinstall that? Take a look at the following thread on the AVG Free Forum: http://freeforum.avg.com/read.php?8,159062,162317 On Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 10:04 pm, Zachery Speight wrote: >When I tried to reinstalled AVG 7.5, I get this message---"Local machine: installation >failed > Initialization: > Error: Checking of state of the item file msvcr71.dll_W9x failed. > File opening failed. %FILE% = "c:\windows\System\msvcr71.dll" > Permission denied".
