I was trying to get my scanner to work on my computer, but it didn't work out, and apparently it replaced one of my dll files in the system folder with one that's older than what's required, so when I run certain programs,I get an error message that says, "MSVCP60.DLL is linked to missing export MSVCRT:__lc_collate_cp", I did some searches on google, and that's when I found out that I need to get a newer version... so I got a newer version, but here's the problem, when I try to put it in the System folder, it's telling me that I can't because it's "in use". I tried closing out every background program and running program in the "Close Program" dialoge, but it's still in use, does anyone know how to force this replacement?
That demonstrates why windows sux: it is very easily "breakable". I don't know if replacing the file will help, but I'll help you replacing it:

First of all, copy the file you downloaded to C:\ in order to have it easily accesible. Then you must boot in pure dos (assuming that you have windoze 98, of course):

1. reboot you computer.
2. When "Starting windows 98" appears, hit F8
3. A menu will pop up, select option #5 (pure DOS).
4. now copy the file to your WINDOWS/SYSTEM folder, usually:

Code:
C:\> copy msvcp60.dll c:\windows\system

You'll get your file copied Smile
