Also make sure you do not have more than one copy of msvcrt.dll installed on
your system - rename any *not* in c:\windows\system.

Finally, check that the version you have installed is correct as per this
link. It is possible another programme has replaced the correct version of
the DLL with a bad copy or incorrect version.

Thanks for the advice. I installed the windows libraries update but sadly it hasn't made any difference.
When i tried to replace the msvcrt.dll file, i was told that the file was in use by windows and could not be replaced, renamed or anything.
Any other help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Sandi,

thanks for all your help and advice. I finally got the msvcrt dll reinstalled using the sfc command and it is fixed. I've been online for about half an hour now with no illegal operations,

cheers,

Cormac
