error report

I am getting this error report: This application has failed to start because
MSVCR70.dll was not found. ybrwicon.exe was in the top part of the box.

I called Toshiba and they said that I needed to download a patch from
Microsoft. She, of course, made it sound like this was a specific problem
that they are seeing a lot of but when I try to search for a solution or
patch I can find nothing.

You could try searching for the DLL at http://www.dll-files.com and placing
it in Windows\System32 to see if it lets the app work again.

I have no idea! I am not a techie but really want to learn. Is there a way
to find out what program this is? And, by the way, this laptop is only five
days old! ~echo

Try reinstalling the program, also try and locate the file on disc etc.

Which program is it?

It is part of the Yahoo browser

~echo

I got the following information from a Google search.

YBRWICON.EXE GENERAL INFO
Author: Yahoo
Part of: BT Yahoo Browser
Common Path: %programfiles%\YAHOO!\BROWSER\YBRWICON.EXE

If you have the Yahoo browser software installed then Yahoo should be where
you are looking for support information.

I have used Yahoo as my ISP since 2003. Yahoo's browser, which is a
customized Internet Explorer browser, is not compatible with Vista. I think
YBRWICON.EXE places the Yahoo icon on your taskbar. Disable it. It's just one
more thing loading at startup. You don't need it. Of course, I could be
wrong. You should continue to seek help from a knowledgeable person.
