Seems an appropriate Forum to field my question?

Scenario: I'm trying to run memtest on an old Win95 machine and encounter the error [[A required .DLL file, MFC42.dll, was not found]]

So, I did an experiment: found the file on a Win98 computer 5 feet away and "sneaker netted" it to the Win95 machine.
No problem, drop it in the system folder, and use regsvr32 to show it to Win95. Another error message...not fully remembered but included "....last address".

Q: Is there a work-around for this?

Would the newer runtime library (which I'm assuming memtest was written with) mess with Win95?

My understanding of this, as you can see, is only enough to be dangerous.

Hmmm... Actually its hard for me to realize the problem with that less information. I would suggest you also copy msvcrt.dll from the machine you got mfc42.dll. These two belong together.

My fear is that something else won't work...like some older install procedures.
