Hello Mustang,

Unfortunately this issue is not Acronis, but Micrisoft related, so we won't be able to help you with it.

I would advise you to contact Microsoft Support themselves, I'm sure they will be glad to provide you with a solution.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you!

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure Microsoft will be GLAD to provide a solution but I will try anyway.

Try re-registering the msvcp71.dll by doing the following:
Start > run > and type "regsrv32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcp71.dll" (without the quotes) and click OK.

That assumes that your Windows installation is located in C:\WINDOWS. If not, modify accordingly. You will get a message pop-up either telling you that msvcp71.dll has been registered successfully or an error notice.

Oops! I misread the error message. It is MSVCR71.dll that is missing. This is a bit confusing since at least the backup function is working. Is the missing .dll really necessary? If so, do I need to re-install the program to get it. I understand that it is not a good idea to download .dll files from the internet.
