error.jpg

 

 

I get this error everytime i try to open VRC.

 

1) I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it a few times.

 

2) I have been able to open it at times after a fresh installation, but once i close it, I get the same error the next time I try to open the program...

 

3) This started happening after i tried to install ASRC 1.2 (just to check it out) and since then, even good ole ASRC wont work...

 

any ideas?

I'm afraid I have no idea. That DLL should be a standard part of XP. It may have been corrupted or replaced by a piece of spyware or a virus or something. I'm totally guessing here ... anything is possible.

Best bet would be to get that DLL off the XP CD or have a friend send you a working one and replace it. I had that happen on my SB3 computer, one day it gives me a bunch of errors that this DLL is missing. Got a copy off my other computer, stuck it where it was on my other computer and it works fine now.

Excellent idea Andras ... Ben, I would definitely do that. Just don't search the net for a replacement DLL ... you'll find lots of places to download it, and many of them will be trojan horse viruses, spyware, etc. Only take it from your CD or from a friend's computer.

Hi Ross...

 

It appears that windows has several of these MSVCRT.dll files and i am having difficulty pin pointing the "guilty party"...

 

 

Do you know which MSVCRT.DLL file VRC targets?

It should be in c:\windows\system32

If you were one of the lucky ones that got the original ASRC installer that avsim posted, this could have corrupted the dll registration for that dll.. get the new ASRC 1.2 installer that's available now, install that, and it should fix that problem.

The problem started actually right AFTER I installed ASRC 1.2.

 

The DLL error happens when i try to open ASRC as well

As I said.. you probably got the bad installer that was up for a brief period... uninstall ASRC, redownload it from AVSIM (it's a different file now) and install the one that's there.. and it should fix your problem.
