missing dll file, must reinstall windows

[$5box]

Patience please, I'm new at forums. I am running Windows 98 on an older machine.
After uninstalling a program I cannot reboot. I have a message, "Error loading Explorer.exe. You must reinstall Windows". I am missing, (at least) a file called msvcrt.dll. I do not have a Windows CD to reinstall. I do not have any backup disks.
(I know but I'm trying to resurrect this for someone else.) I do have a msvcrt.dll file on a floppy from another computer. How can I get it where its supposed to be? Will that help?

How do you know? Does it say in error message? If so, please post ENTIRE error message.
What program did you uninstall?

Thanks for asking. I got it fixed. FYI, Behind the "must reinstall,etc."error message was another error window saying could not find missing file msvcrt.dll. I copied that file from another computer (Win Me) and then opened the sick machine in Safe Mode and used MSDOS command prompt only to get to A: drive. Then I copied the file to C:\windows\system and rebooted. The programed I had removed was a preloaded communications program. Now making backup disk!
