If you install NetMeeting and Symantec pcANYWHERE 8.0 and then uninstall pcANYWHERE 8.0, the Video command on the Tools menu may become unavailable in NetMeeting.

This behavior can occur if the Msvcrt.dll file is removed when pcANYWHERE 8.0 is uninstalled. pcANYWHERE 8.0 replaces the Msvcrt.dll file included with NetMeeting with a newer version. When pcANYWHERE 8.0 is removed, it removes the file.

To correct this behavior, replace the Msvcrt.dll file. To do so, follow these steps:
