I need help from a pro with this one. When I try open a file that requires the application extension MSVCP71.dll it says the file is not there or there has being an error with the file(such as, it is not a valid windows image). I looked in the system 32 folder where this file is supposed to be located and it was not there. I went to my mums computer made a copy of the file and saved on to a flash drive, I then pasted it into my computers files where the file should be and yet it is still giving me the same error. What should I do to fix this problem. To me it seems I contracted a virus that deleted that file. At first I thought the problem was because I ha recently downloaded service pack 2, so I deleted the service pack hoping to revert the error(this did not work). I know cannot obtain a version of this server pack again because MSVCP71 is the file needed to boost the windows updater. I have been able to acquire a manual install of the service pack and will try installing that today, but I don't think it will solve the problem. Unless one of you guys can help me out then it looks like an complete reformat is in order.
