An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.
I ran the ad-aware program on my XP Home Edition Compaq presario and selected to remove some of the items. I re-booted and got errors and no connection to the internet, so I reversed the changes and re-booted again. Now I have no errors but no connection to my cable modem. I have another computer connected through the hub so I know that the cable modem is up. I have removed the network adapters and let them be re-installed but that does not work, I have tried to delete the winsock and winsock2 reg entries and that does not work, I can not un-install TCPIP, the box is not available. I am getting quite frustrated, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

War1, we had this winsock problem after installing a wireless NIC on a pc with firewire, zonealarm, adaware, etc. Spent a lot of time w/ tech support for the wireless vendor, unsuccessfully. Didn't suspect adaware because it had been installed well before the problem arose. Your fix worked like a charm. Thanks! Nicely done!
