Hi, my name is Micheleh, and I was an unhappy camper! Seriously, my brand-new poser4 and propack crashed on it's second day with an mscvrt.dll error. Tech support was little help, so I did my own research. I thought I'd share. ;) Apparently the Propack ( and lots of other apps!) are picky about the version of msvcrt file. I assume this is the communication file for displays (CRT). A replacement (that works, I went through several!) can be found at http://firetop.com/dl/. In file manager, go to windows/system, rename the old file from msvcrt.dll to msvcrt.old, and dl the new version in its place. This is probably old news to most, but it's terrible to have a shiny new program crash for no apparent reason.(I have slaughtered innocent Mice for less!) Hope someone can use this.
