henry,
The resource file "msvcrt.dll" is included by default with all 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system installations with the exception of Windows 95A. This first version of the Windows 95 operating system did not include this file.
More info.

It's the Visual C++ runtime library. Needed for any program that was written using this language.

11. Windows tells me that it can't find "MSVCRT.DLL". What is "MSVCRT.DLL", and how do I get it?
MSVCRT.DLL is the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library. Now you know. Later releases of Windows 95 don't include this file, but it is included in the "Windows Library Update" which can be downloaded from Microsoft at the following location: MSVCRT.DLL
The file is 1.4MB which is about a six-minute download with a 56k modem.

The file is on Win 98 SE original CD
Contents of the Win98_63.cab File :
Msvcrt dll 266,293 4-23-1999 10:22:00p
If you have Winzip double click this cab file
or use the extract command from a DOS window
extract /L destination_directory win98_63.cab msvcrt.dll
If you don't find msvcrt.dll type the next command to find the .dll
from the \win98 diectory on the cd type
for %a in (*.cab) do extract /D %a >>c:\temp\win98.txt
then edit the txt file to know where is the file.

Henry,
If you are having a problem with that particular DLL:
Most like, some program you recently installed replaced msvcrt.dll with an older version.
Go to Start>Run, type vcmui. If you find backed-up versions that are newer than the present versions, replace them here.
Or do a search for msvcrt*. Then right-click on all you find and choose properties, click the version tab and locate the newest one, rename it to msvcrt.dll and place it in the c:\windows\system directory.
If you're using Internbet Explorer 5.0 or higher, and have kept the setup files, use Winzip or similar to extract the latest copy of msvcrt.dll from C:\Windows Update Setup Files\SETUPW95.CAB
