I did a search for this and none of the answers helped. I deleted some programs off of my computer and now when I restart, I get a message saying "A required .DLL file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM/MSVCRT.DLL" was not found." I made a startup disc but had no luck using it. I've tried running Safe Mode but get the same thing. I can't get to anything on my desktop (can't see it). The computer I'm using now has XP and the other one is 98SE. I have the original CD for 98 and another for 98SE (I think). What do I need to do to get this thing going again?

Maybe this may work... http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcrt Download the file and boot the broken computer to dos. Copy the file to your windows/system folder and reboot.

lmao-I hate to ask this, but how do I do all that? I'm not computer savvy at all.

Have you tried this? MSVCRT.DLL

Here's what ended up working, for the future when I do this again. Thanks for trying all. To replace a missing or corrupt file with an original copy, you must locate the file in the .cab files on your W98 CD. Using the machine you are posting with, open Explorer and select the folder containing the ..cab files. Open the Tools menu, click Find, Files and type: *.Cab in the Named box. Type the name of the wanted file in the Containing Text box and click Find Now. This lists the .cab file your wanted file is located in. Double click the .cab file to see what's in it and right click to extract the wanted file to a floppy disk. Boot with a floppy start up disk--CDRom support is not required. If you do not have a start up disk, make one with the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the W98 CD: tools/mtsutil/fat32ebd. At the A: prompt, put in the floppy containing the file you extracted. Assuming you are replacing a .dll file named xyz, type: Copy A:\xyz.dll C:\windows\system\xyz.dll and hit enter. Once the file is copied, remove the floppy disk and reboot. While .dll files are filed in the system folder, other files may be filed elsewhere so make sure you specify the right folder.
