Cant launch a new game because of MSVCR71.dll

[GailT]

Have a new computer and almost all the games from Shockwave tell me I need this MSVCR71.dll...What do I do?

Just download the file from dllfiles.com and replace the one that is corrupted.

Corrupt Visual C++ Runtime, best to download fresh copy from Microsoft than attempt to patch with files from a 3rd party website.
