I copied the windows msvcrt.dll over, there are actually 3 the other
two are msvcrt20.dll msvcrt40.dll   I did them one at a time, and
changed owner, then permissions to make them the same as the rest of
the dll's in the system32 directory.  Ok, here is what I get:

Can you explain how to do this?  Thanks.  I tried setting the
configuration in wine to emulate 2000, I had been using xp, and I also
used the default.  I really don't see much of a difference between the
two.  When I go to the libraries, and add the msvcrt to native
bulletin, ACT won't even start.  ??  I tried it as just native and it
wouldn't start either.  ?    Thanks for the help.
