You're good.

I did a system search for that file. I found multiple copies. I went to
Windows/system 32 and changed the corrupted file name to msvcirt2.dll. Then I

works with the Nortion SystemWorks AND the "Learn XP" desktop icon (Windows
XP home edition multimedia training) which went out about the same time as
all these other problems started.

Thanks.
