msvcrt.dll missing

[MN]

I uninstalled some programs that I do not use anymore (not related to
microsoft) and when I restarted the computer it says MSVCRT.DLL was not
found. I did not receive a ME disk and not sure how to resotore this dll
file so i can start Windows ME.

Your system could be seriously compromised if the file msvcrt.dll is
missing from the folder C:\Windows|System since this file is protected
against random deletion by Win Me's System File Protection mechanism. If
SFP, and therefore also System Restore, are broken I would be concerned
about the integrity of the system.

Nevertheless try the steps outlined in MS KB299296 - "Error Message: Error
Loading Explorer.exe You Must Reinstall Windows"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=299296) to reinstall the missing
msvcrt.dll.

Since you don't have a Win Me CD hopefully the CAB files mentioned in the
KB are on your hard drive and located in either the
C:\Windows\Options\Cabs or C:\Windows\Options\Install folder.
