How to Install Msvcr80.Dll

Dynamic Link Library files are important Microsoft Windows system files that multiple programs and system processes may rely on to function properly. The Microsoft C Runtime Library and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 both rely on a Dynamic Link Library, or DLL, file called "msvcr80.dll." If this file becomes corrupted or is deleted, both of these programs may encounter problems and become unstable. This DLL file can, however, be downloaded for free online and installed in the Windows system directory.

Instructions

1. Open your Web browser and navigate to a download location for a working version of the msvcr80.dll file (see Resources).

2. Click the download link and save the file to your computer. When the download finishes, unzip the file to your desktop.

3. Click "Start," open "Computer," open "Windows" and open "System32."

4. Drag the msvcr80.dll you extracted to the desktop into the system folder. If you're asked whether or not you want to replace an existing file of the same name, click "Yes."

5. Reboot Windows.
