Can you search your system and see if you have that dll installed somewhere.
 Most likely you will.  If you find it, go to the command prompt and change
to the directory where the dll is.  Then run this command:
Regsvr32 msvcp71.dll

(I don't know if your 64-bit machine uses the command Regsvr64, so try that
too)
