msvcrt.dll XP problem

[techbeck]

That sounds like an exceptionally terrible approach, especially if the library in question shipped with Windows. It is very easy to end up with much bigger system problems by downloading an incompatible version of the library. Not to mention that fact that I'm not sure I trust the vast majority of the "DLL DOWNLOAD!" sites on the Internet; they just look shady. Unfortunately those websites exist because many people do exactly that: Google the DLL and download a copy from the first website in the search results.

Always worked for me. No virus, no malware, no system issues. Lots of good trustworthy site out there. If you cannot find the file anywhere else, what other choice do you have.

Plus, I know how to tell a shady site for a good one. So its not an issue for me.,
