Hi,

First look in php.ini for the dll you need.
Just search for something that contains crypt.
You find an extension named php_mcrypt.dll

Now google for that extension, and you'll find a lot.

Be sure you uncomment the line in php.ini, and make sure you place the dll
in the right directory with appropriate rights to read for the IIS user.

That aside: Darko was right: Go GNU/Linux instead of M$ rather sooner than
later.
