[metalman11ty1]

Hello all, I am having a problem when trying to start the game.
So i hit the big "Play" button and i get an error that says

This program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try re-installing the program to fix this problem.

im not sure what "MSVCR71.dll" is, at first i thought i might have to download the game frome somwhere, but after looking around i couldn't find any sort of "Download" button.
So can somone, help me, how do i fix this?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling java. The link can be found here: http://www.java.com/en/ When you get in the website push the "free download" button and it should go to the download for your system, unles your computer is windows 64-bit, which it will go to 32-bit (Which also works for me for 64-bit computer). If that doesn't do it, then I don't know anything else. (I'm not a computer expert. I just follow what other people say to do, but I think reinstalling java should fix it.)

Edit: I looked up that file in my java folder. It seems to be in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin". I use the 64-bit found in "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin" which uses a similar file called "MSVCRT.ddl".
Edit 2: If you're using windows 7 64-bit use this link: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and click on "Windows 7, XP Offline (64-bit)" under where is says "windows" with a gray background.

No problem. Even though I'm not as good with computers as some people here, I can still figure out many problems with missing files. (one example of a problem I couldn't fix was with ender's client when People got the "connections refused: connect" message while logging into H & H bia ender's client) I just figured it's a missing file or a faulty download. I had a similar problem with a different game (I think it was with runescape or something).
