Well, thing went slightly awry. The link gave me two choices. Download 
msv...dll fixer, and download fixer. I took the latter. However, just 
checking on the other one, found that I got the same exe file. I 
installed it on the XP PC, and pressed what looked like a reasonable 
place to start. It would download the dll, and register it.

Well, it seemed more interested in the registry. It scanned four areas 
of the registry, and found 123 problems in total. To fix them would 
require buying something.

I noticed a large button near the top that said download dll. It found 
one the internet, and guess what? More purchase for the download.

It seems like dll-fixer has a corner on the market.

I found this 
<http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcp71-dll-not-found-missing-error.htm>, 
but he almost has too much to say. He issues a warning about getting a 
dll off the web. He does offer this.

Run the sfc /scannow System File Checker command to replace a missing or 
corrupt copy of the msvcp71.dll file. If this DLL file is provided my 
Microsoft, the System File Checker tool should restore it.

I guess I'm missing something here.

OK, I'm borrowing one from my XP laptop. Back later.
