[DXBase] DXBase 2004 - PC problem

Mon, 8 Dec 2003 14:31:46 -0800

I think the problem could happen with any app with any Windows OS where
MSVCIRT.dll is corrupted or replaced with a back-level version.

Here's a more recent KB article, with a different product, describing the
same problem and a Windows XP technique to fix it:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302379

I went to the Microsoft Knowledge Base, http://support.microsoft.com
<http://support.microsoft.com/> , chose "Knowledge Base" and searched for
"MSVCIRT". There are a handful of knowledge base articles for various
products with the same root cause.

MSVCIRT.DLL is part of the Microsoft C/C++ runtime library and is often
included with applications like DXBase or Intellipoint. Good installers
shouldn't overlay current code with back-level versions. Some do. Good
installers should install the complete C/C++ runtime distribution when they
install a newer version. Not all do. Good installers shouldn't install
release-dependent C/C++ runtime versions in a system directory. Some do.

I generally get one with my Windows XP OS and sometimes a newer one when I
install a new Microsoft Compiler.

I don't know anything particular about Intellipoint install or how Tony got
to where he is now. I'm suggesting that he might consider restoring
MSVCIRT.DLL from his Windows OS disk which might be a lot easier than
reinstalling everything else.

Very interesting Dick.
Can I assume from reading that this is only an issue in 98 or Millennium
Edition???/
They only have fixes for those two version of OS.

I'm also guessing that it must have been an old version of the mouse
software???
