But i says can not replace because it's currently being used, so how can i replace it? Can anyone tell me how to replace it or fix the problem becuase i want to use this program. Thanx

Try starting up in "SAFE" mode and go to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder and rename MSVCRT.DLL to MSVCRT.OLD then put the new file you downloaded into your WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder(copy and paste), restart your computer and see if the problem is gone. If that doesn't work follow the Microsoft Instructions from the link below my name above.

I probobly would try the above solution from a DOS mode. dll may still be in use even in a safe mode.

Install the "Microsoft Libraries Update" from the Windows 98 Update page.
