Hi Paul and all. Well I'll be damned. I seem to have finally fixed my problem, and in a hideously simple manner. I did not install Partition Magic and un-FAT32. I did not backup all of my data and start from scratch. First, Paul, I downloaded the MSVCRT.Zip file from your link. Thank you very much. It turned out to be the one I had installed, but that's good knowledge anyway. I then noticed that the "read only" bit was set on the installed file. I thought: "I can't imagine that would have an affect on the function of the DLL, since it's only there to protect it from overwriting, alteration, or deletion." (Am I wrong about that?) So I turned it off, and, to be safe, restarted. I am now almost done downloading Media Player 9 from the Microsoft site, and the link appears rock-solid. And I can log on to eBay trouble-free. My guess is that the install process set the bit to protect it during the upgrade, and failed to remove it. Conjecture and instruction are invited. Regards, a grateful and much happier Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul N.

I believe the most current version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, within an upgraded Win-98 system, is 6.10.8924.0, and should be 290,869 bytes in size. You most likely will need to load it into the C:\Windows\System\ directory path while booted to DOS, instead of from Windows Explorer.
If you have problems extracting it from the CAB file, then you can retrieve it from this location: http://home.att.net/~Fractals_5/MSVCRT.zip
