Guest Deb Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Ok so I downloaded RegCure , ran it fixed all 432 problems the when I re booted my laptop it keeps saying ",windows sockes failed to intialize " and I cant get onto the internet . I know its not a problem with my server . My desktop and my other laptop is still connecting . Any ideas on how to fix this ? I am running xp home edition on the laptop with the prob
Guest JS Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Re: Windows sockets ?? Try using System Restore, use a restore point that was created before you used RegCure. If this fixes your problem then DO NOT run RegCurse again.

Hi Deb - From my Blog, addy below in my Signature: #########IMPORTANT######### Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs below, download both a copy of LSPFIX here: http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm AND a copy of Winsockfix for W95, W98, and ME http://www.tacktech.com/pub/winsockfix/WinsockFix.zip Directions here: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257 or here for Win2k/XP http://files.webattack.com/localdl834/WinsockxpFix.exe Info and download here: http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html Directions here: http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm The process of removing certain malware may kill your internet connection. If this should occur, these programs, LSPFIX and WINSOCKFIX, will enable you to regain your connection.For XP SP2, you can also use the Run command: netsh winsock reset catalog to fix this problem without the need for these programs. For XP pre-SP2, you can use this Run command: netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt Also, one MS technician suggested that the following sequence of Run commands for XP may help in some cases: netsh int reset all ipconfig /flushdns See also: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/winsock.htm for additional XPSP2 info/approaches using the netsh command.

Guest Jim Byrd Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Windows sockets ?? Hi Deb - Glad you're back in operation. Try just re-installing Flash and see if that fixes that problem. As to RegCure - the following is my 'standard' post concerning Registry Cleaners - I think you'll get a pretty good idea as to where I (and most MVP's that I know) stand on using them. :) In my experience all of these Reg cleaners, even the best, are fraught with danger. I advise against using them except in one specific instance, that is when you have one that is capable of doing specific Reg searches, and you NEED (not just WANT) to remove the remaining traces of something that didn't get uninstalled correctly. (and you didn't have foresight enough to install it using Total Uninstall, here: http://www.321download.com/LastFreeware/files/tun235.zip, in the first place.) (As an aside, there are, however, some third party Registry Editors which can be of great help with both the incorrect uninstall and with certain malware problems, especially some of theCoolWebSearch types such as the AppInit_DLLs variant of the about:blank version of CWS, for example. I can recommend Registrar Lite, here: http://www.resplendence.com/reglite .) There are a couple of specific bugs that can cause abnormal growth in either the System or Software hives; however, they are rare, and unless these hives in %SystemRoot%\System32\config are very, very large (in the hundreds of megabytes), then I would council you to leave your Registry alone except for the special circumstances I mentioned above. I and most other MVP's that I know believe that Registry modifications of any type are probably best done manually, very carefully, with a thorough knowledge of what's installed on your machine, and what you're doing, and then only when necessary. There's very little (if any!) noticeable benefit in either space saving or speed achievable by cleaning out the Registry except in those few cases where there's a specific problem the client is experiencing (usually uninstall or malware related in my experience) that needs to be fixed. Lastly, if you must screw around with your Registry, then at least get Erunt/Erdnt, and run it before you do the Reg clean. You'll then have a true restore available to you. Read below to see why you might not just using the Reg cleaner's restore: Get Erunt here for all NT-based computers including XP: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/I've set it up to take a scheduled backup each night at 12:01AM on a weekly round-robin basis, and a Monthly on the 1st of each month. See here for how to set that up: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/erunt.txt, and for some useful information about this subject. This program is one of the best things around - saved my butt on many occasions, and will also run very nicely from a DOS prompt (in case you've done something that won't let you boot any more and need to revert to a previous Registry) IF you're FAT32 OR have a DOS startup disk with NTFS write drivers in an NTFS system. (There is also a way using the Recovery Console to get back to being "bootable" even without separate DOS write NTFS drivers, after which you can do a "normal" Erdnt restore.) (BTW, it also includes a Registry defragger program). Free, and very, very highly recommended. FYI, quoting from the above document: "Note: The "Export registry" function in Regedit is USELESS (!) to make a complete backup of the registry. Neither does it export the whole registry (for example, no information from the "SECURITY" hive is saved), nor can the exported file be used later to replace the current registry with the old one. Instead, if you re-import the file, it is merged with the current registry, leaving you with an absolute mess of old and new registry keys. FWIW, the second question I ask clients is whether they've recently used a Reg Cleaner or tried to restore from one. (The first question I ask is whether they've any non-commercial Norton/Symantec software installed. ) ) -- Regards, Jim Byrd, My Blog, Defending Your Machine, http://defendingyourmachine2.blogspot.com/ In news:831514B5-4793-4945-9C36-F9A4B7262EA7@microsoft.com, Deb <Deb@discussions.microsoft.com> typed: || Jim , || || Thank you so much it worked all is working (well except the flash || player for some stragne reason ) Now ..should I uninstall the copy || of RegCure I so stupidly bought ?? || || "Jim Byrd" wrote: || ||| Hi Deb - From my Blog, addy below in my Signature: ||| ||| ||| #########IMPORTANT######### ||| Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs below, ||| download both a copy of LSPFIX here: ||| http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm ||| ||| AND a copy of Winsockfix for W95, W98, and ME ||| http://www.tacktech.com/pub/winsockfix/WinsockFix.zip ||| Directions here: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257 ||| ||| or here for Win2k/XP ||| http://files.webattack.com/localdl834/WinsockxpFix.exe ||| Info and download here: ||| http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html Directions ||| here: http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm ||| ||| The process of removing certain malware may kill your internet ||| connection.
