[Tutor] Can't find MSVCR71.dll

[Jacob S.]

The way I did it was google for "download msvcr71.dll" and found a good 
place to download the file-- < 500K   ---  then I put the dll file in 
C:\windows\system32 folder.  Then it worked and I didn't worry about it 
anymore.

Easy enough, and you don't have to worry about that specific problem ever 
again.

HTH,
Jacob
