Windows can not boot due to missing MSVCP60.DLL File.

I can not boot up my computer. I have xp pro sp2. When I turn it on it says
that windows can not boot up due to missing MSVCP60.DLL. I can not go to safe
mode or use last know working configuration.

Any Ideas?

How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install:

Well, before running a Repair install of the XP operating system, run the XP
System File Checker process (commonly called "scannow sfc"). It's a lot
simpler to run and less intrusive than the Repair install process and should
correct your problem. See the following link for instructions...

But in order to run this, won't the OP need to be able to boot his PC first?

It just occurred to me that since your system is unbootable you will not be
able to run the sfc /scannow process I recommended. Sorry for the
misinformation.

Mark's suggestion re running a Repair install should correct your problem.
Another alternative would be to Google for MSVCP60.DLL and you'll be
referred to a number of links describing issues involving that missing file.

You are most certainly correct. I corrected the misinformation I originally
provided the OP in a later post.

I had been thinking along lines when we've encountered that "missing
MSVCP60.DLL"
message. In every similar situation (as I recall) the problem we ran into
involved the inability to access this or that program because of the missing
(or corrupt) dll. I can't recall a situation that we encountered where the
system was unbootable because of the missing dll. Although it's obviously
possible as reported by the OP. So I was (mistakenly) thinking of using the
usual Start > Run "sfc /scannow" command that (as I recall) invariably
corrected the problem.

I had same prob...[Here's what i did]
I went to another computer downloaded msvcp60.dll onto a disk then booted the faulty computer in xp repair mode with the xp disk.
Once i was at the c:\windows prompt, i swapped disks with the one that had the msvcp60.dll file and then typed :
copy e:\msvcp60.dll c:\windows\system32\system
this copied the file back to where it should be and now the PC boots up fine..
