I'm guessing MSVCP1 is a typo for MSVCP71? If that is missing then
that is probably the culprit. That DLL is the C runtime library. It
is supposed to be shipped with applications that need it, but it is so
ubiquitous that it is often assumed to be present or forgotten. You
can download it from
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp71 (or just
find it on another Windows XP PC) and copy it into
C:\Windows\System32. Don't forget to run regsvr32 to register it.

HTH,

You are very likely right about the spelling. I wrote it down, and
carried it to this PC. Sometimes I can't read my own writing.

Well, thing went slightly awry. The link gave me two choices. Download msv...dll fixer, and download fixer. I took the latter. However, just checking on the other one, found that I got the same exe file. I installed it on the XP PC, and pressed what looked like a reasonable place to start. It would download the dll, and register it.

Well, it seemed more interested in the registry. It scanned four areas of the registry, and found 123 problems in total. To fix them would require buying something.

I noticed a large button near the top that said download dll. It found one the internet, and guess what? More purchase for the download.

It seems like dll-fixer has a corner on the market.

I found this <http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcp71-dll-not-found-missing-error.htm>, but he almost has too much to say. He issues a warning about getting a dll off the web. He does offer this.

Run the sfc /scannow System File Checker command to replace a missing or corrupt copy of the msvcp71.dll file. If this DLL file is provided my Microsoft, the System File Checker tool should restore it.

I guess I'm missing something here.

OK, I'm borrowing one from my XP laptop. Back later.
