BigDaddy Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 A week ago I repaced this "msvcrt.dll" located in "\SYSTEMROOT\SYSTEM32\" with the one from SP1 istallation cos I thought it might fix a problem I was getting w/ mIRANDA! Well it didn't, so I then I wanted to put the the original one back, but I can't cos I keep getting ACCES IS DENIED. So how do I do that?EDIT:I found a way.I renamed the "msvcrt.dll" and the put the original one back and Windows didn't give me any ACCES DENIED problems.Question: How come when I wanted to delete the file I got ACCESS DENIED, but when I only renemed it it was OK??Question2: What is this DLL even used for?

MHz Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Pop up a dos box.Type SFC /scannow then enter, will check your system files.Or you could use the expand command to get the original file from cd.E.g. expand d:\i386\msvcrt.dl_ msvcrt.dlld is your cdrom letter.

MHz Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 System file protection will let you do something then it will reverse it. Well it should.msvcrt.dll is a file used for visual c application. Without this, applications and such programmed in visual c will fail. Mayority of apps are programmed in visual c. Including the operating system.

BigDaddy Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 I belive I have SFP disabled:C:\Documents and Settings\Tom>sfc /scannowWindows File Protection could not initiate a scan of protected system files.The specific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC server is unavailable.].Since it is disabled why did it gave me access denied errors?

BigDaddy Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 file in useI understand perfectly to that part, but then why did the OS allowed me to rename the file to anything I wanted? And I wasn't even in safe mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
