Default Re: Lost file - can you help me find it ?

Might be that the file is actually msvcr80.dll (not msver80.dll).

AFAIK:

This error usually is "caught" by NSW after a PC is updated with MS DotNET
Version 2.0.

The file is installed correctly in the appropriate directory:
Windows\WinSxS\x86_policy.5.2.Microsoft.Windows.Ne tworking.Rtcdll_6595b64144ccf1df_x-ww_c7b7206f

NSW gives the error because it thinks the file should actually be located in
the Windows\System32 directory.

You can either select "Ignore the problem" within NSW or simply copy (NOT
move!) msvcr80.dll to Windows\System32 directory. That will keep NSW
*happy*.

Or one can always *Ignore NSW* - a course of action deemed wise by many,
including yours truly.

Double check the file name on your NSW error list before doing anything. The
above suggestion is worthless if the file name is not msvcr80.dll.

Anything you do, you do at your own risk.
