BTW, I seem to recall that MSVCRT.dll is one of those DLLs that must
be located in the windows system directory and is only allowed to be > loaded once. I could be wrong though.
That is strange if true. I searched my system and found 25 instances
of MSVCRT.DLL installed by various applications plus the one in
Winnt\System32. Apps that installed it include Star Office, the HP
CD Writer, the java run-time environment, all the iomega jaz and
zip tools, and Tax Cut. Only ten superfluous copies of MSVCIRT.DLL,
however. As I am very reluctant to update anyone's Windows directory,
I may eventually find out if these work from elsewhere.

msvcrt - microsoft visual c runtime (I think)
There were a few flavors of it before they added a version number to the end of it. It's a royal pain, for older versions of windows, because every software publisher had to add it to their package to ensure the users has a copy (why you find soo many of them). The older ones break newer software, I think the newer ones do not break older software (phew).
I've seen one or two that even didn't have a microsoft signature in them. If you really want to fix this computer backup the one in the windows directory and install the newer one. You should be able to forget about it at that point.
Most of the other microsoft visual c runtime dlls have version nubmers in the name so they don't complicate the issue much worse.
I suspect microsoft sold their compiler source to some of the bigger software houses, so playing with msvcrt can seem real scary when looking at all the different versions you may find.
BTW, different versions of the same dll can't be loaded dynamically, that being the case, it should be safe to upgrade it.
