RE:Copying MSVCP60 to System files?

[431261316]

My computer somehow lost MSVCP60.dll, and i can solve the problem if i could access the logon screen. An error message:
Severces.exe - Unable to locate component.
this applicaiton failed to start because MSVCP60.dll was not found.

And this results me in not being able to reach any log on screen, whether it's in safe mode or not. All i need to do is copy the MSVCP60.dll, not logged on, and cant use Autoexnt.bat either, because i cant log on!, So how do i copy it across? I also made a batch file to copy it across, so how do i run a batch file at startup withoug logging on or using Autoexnt?

press F8 at boot and open a command prompt.
Make sure the file is in the cd or floppy.
type cd ?: (the ? is the drive with the file)
then type the name of your bat file and enter.
That should fix you up.

Ok
Often you can boot to the prompt and not safe mode as it is one of the options after hitting F8.
I didnt realize F8 wasnt working at all.

Well that leaves us at hopefully (you have one) putting in the XP disk and getting to the command prompt from there.
Youll want to use the system restore option obviously.

Make sure you have that file on a floppy
once booted type
cd a:
copy a:\msvcp690.dll c:\window\system
(assuming that is the location)
(also notice the space after the Y and L in the copy command)
