SYMPTOMS
When you start a Visual C++ version 2.1 application on Windows NT, you may
receive this error:
The procedure entry point 'symbol' could not be located in
the dynamic library MSVCRT20.DLL.
where 'symbol' could be one or all of these:
_adjust_fdiv
_adj_fdiv_r
_adj_fdiv_m64
_adj_fdivr_m64
CAUSE
The MSVCRT20.DLL file shipped with Visual C++ version 2.1 includes a fix
for Pentium floating point functions. The faulty Pentium FDIV operations
are implemented as internal functions in MSVCRT20.DLL. The error listed
above is caused by linking to an older version of MSVCRT20.DLL - one that
does not contain these functions.
RESOLUTION
The MSVCRT20.DLL library located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory under
Windows NT, should be version 2.10 or greater. You can check the version by
using the File Manager. Select (highlight) the MSVCRT20.DLL file, and press
ALT-ENTER to get its properties. If it isn't version 2.10, copy the newer
version from the Visual C++ version 2.1 CD.
A patch has been made available for those who do not have the Visual C++
version 2.1 product CD. For additional information, please see the
