Can someone please tell me what this fault is? I have
tried going to online support but for some reason it tells
me my product id does not match my software - which is
rubbish as I bought both in UK.

Explorer keeps crashing when I look at sites and this
message comes up - is it my computer of a fault with
explorer?
 
Hi :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

MSCVRT.DLL Problems - Missing File:

What this message usually means is that this file is damaged or corrupted
in some way. You could try downloading and replacing this file again from
here which will normally fix this problem
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/d...es.shtml?msvcrt

To replace the file do the following:

NOTE: before doing any of this, you must have a file extraction program
(such as "WinZip" or "WinRar") AND you must have the "Hide file extensions
for known file types" turned OFF. Here is how to do this:
1) Open Windows Explorer, click on Tools, click on "Folder Options...".
2) in the "Folder Options" window, click on the "View" tab at the top.
3) click on the "Show hidden files and folder", or "Show all files" button
so that all hidden and system files are visible.
4) make sure "Hide file extensions for known file types" is UNCHECKED.

Then......

1) download the replacement MSVCRT.DLL file to a folder somewhere on your
computer (or to the desktop).
2) Extract the file using something like WinZip or WinRar.
3) Rename the file by "Right clicking" on it and selecting "Rename", rename
it to "msvcrt.new".
4) Cut and Paste the "msvcrt.new" file into your "C:\Windows\System" folder,
(simply "Right Click" the "msvcrt.new" file and select "Cut", then open an
Explorer window or just any file window, and at the top where it says
"Address" type "C:\Windows\System", then just "Right Click" in the File area
and select "Paste")
5) (This part is gonna take timing) now restart your computer, and as soon
as the "Shut Down" screen goes away keep pressing the "F8" and/or "Ctrl"
keys repeatedly as fast as you can untill the "Selective startup menu"
appears. (you'll know this menu because it will be a black and white text
menu with about 5 options, one of which will be "Command Prompt only" or
something like that.)
6) from the selective startup menu, select command prompt only, this will
bring you to the old MS-Dos prompt.
7) Type "cd windows\system" and hit "Enter".
8) Type "ren msvcrt.dll msvcrt.old" and hit "Enter".
9) Type "ren msvcrt.new msvcrt.dll" and hit "Enter".
10) Restart your computer either with the "Reset" button or the
"Ctrl-Alt-Del" method. This should reset your system and have resolved the
problem.

If the above does not resolve the issue, you might also try the following

I've been dealing with msvcrt.dll problems too. Thank you for the
information, Jan. My question is: Should I delete the old msvcrt.dll file?
(before restarting and going to the selective startup menu) or is it replaced
after I enter the MS-Dos promt information?
 
Thank you Jan for your information. My question is:
Should I delete the old msvcrt.dll file? or is it replaced by restarting in
selective startup and MS-Dos prompt...
 
Hi Wendy :-)

I would suggest that you rename to old file at this point as a safety
measure (just add OLD to the extention), then replace the file.

I am one who does not like to delete *anything* file wise until I am sure
things work properly. If they do, and it resolves the problem, then you can
delete the old file.
