WINDOWS TIPS AND TRICK

1. Download a new copy of the MSVCR71.DLL file and save it to the desktop of your computer (see link in Resources).
2. Extract the MSVCR71.DLL file from the downloaded ZIP file. Right-click on the file and select 'Extract All.' Click the 'Browse' button and select the directory of the program that is requesting the DLL file.
3. Allow Windows to overwrite any existing MSVCR71.DLL file in the directory. Reboot your computer when the extraction is complete.
4. Open a Command Prompt. Click the Windows logo and enter the command 'cmd' in the 'Search' field for Windows Vista or Windows 7. Press 'Enter.' Click the 'Start' button and then choose 'Run' for Windows XP or an earlier version of Windows. Type 'cmd' into the 'Open' box and press 'Enter.'
5. Type the command 'regsvr32 {path}\msvcr71.dll' at the command prompt where '{path}' is the full path to the location where you extracted the DLL file ('C:\application\' for instance). Restart the computer again.
