regsvr32 msvcrt.dll does not work

I had a problem which closed a program and msvcrt.dll was identified as one of the culprits (in the ModName line of Event Viewer).
Grasping at straws and figuring it could not hurt, I tried to run regsvr32 msvcrt.dll from a Command Prompt, but was told that "msvcrt.dll is loaded, but DLL Registry Server entry point was not found. File cannot be registered". I tried running regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt.dll and got the same message.
I was able to run regsvr32 successfully on the other culprits.
Any ideas why it was not successful on msvcrt.dll?

msvcrt.dll may be corrupted
PM me with your addy, and can email you fresh copy.

Done! Many thanks for the kind offer.

Check your mail.

Broni--Many thanks. Regrettably that did not help. I still cannot register the file. But the PC works, so I guess "if it works, I should not try to fix it any further". :)
Maybe msvcrt.dll does not need registering??

I'd also leave it at that...

Hi Jim, you may find you need this sucker so best to fix the problem, it was nice of Broni to send you the DLL problem is the original fault created a stack overflow and this will continue until you replace the dll with one that contains _resetstkoflw usually not in third party DLL's. So fire up recovery console and pull the original copy from \i386 I am sure you know how for those interested :-

cd system32
ren msvcrt.dll msvcrt.bak
D:
cd \i386
expand msvcrt.dl_ C:\windows\system32
exit
You will need to change your CD drive letter if it is not "D"

jenae--Many thanks. The copy of msvcrt.dll that Broni sent me was from his installation of WinXP SP3, so I would think it contains _resetstkoflw . It was version 7.0.2600.5512, which is the same version in my C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DLLCACHE .
Also I ran an SFC /SCANNOW without any change in the regsvr32 message.

Based on your post I found this reference, which suggests pretty much what you did.

I copied the msvcrt.dll file (v 7.0.2600.5512) in Windows\ServicePackFiles\I386 into my Windows\System32 folder (since I cannot determine the version of the MSVCRT.DL_ file in my C:\I386 folder and it is much smaller and bears a date over two years ago.)
Still no change.
I have saved your suggestion. Do you think it will do anything other that what already has been done?

Hi Jim, I should have checked this first you don't need to register it:-

"You won't need to register it. If you try regsvr32 you will get an error
because it doesn't have a DllRegisterServer entry point. Not all DLLs
require registration, most are simply loaded as required from the System"

From my old UNI course notes.

jenae--G'd on ya, mate. (Possibly not appropriate, but I had to show my extensive knowledge of Stryne.)
You have made my day!! Thanks so much. I never found any comment like that after a lot of searching. Now I can rest.

Good comment to remember, jenae :)
