"Bonjour" and Winsock 2 and Internet connection
"Bonjour" (which is installed without permission - it is a Mac product but can be installed on XP) was unsuccessfully installed on my computer. When I run a Windows Registry cleaner (Registry First Aid), it detects several Registry entries related to "bonjour" as follows:

If I go ahead & delete these entries, I am then unable to (1) access the internet and (2) unable to reboot back into Windows XP. In that case, I need to reboot in Safe Mode & execute the RFA backup file to restore the Registry entries which were deleted. Then all is OK.
I could just tell RFA to ignore these Registry "errors" but their presence "disturbs" me. Can anyone shed any light on this & tell me how I can clean up this mess (like, why is this happening)? Thanks.
