KELLY! If you are in...;-)

[Peter]

I used one of your Tweaks "Repair Loss of Internet Access/Web access" Line
155..... the result stated that I had no winsock application. In search I
couldn't find one either. Should I be worried? The loss of internet
access I was experiencing did disappear after I ran Registry Mechanic - it
found four registry entries to repair. There were none there before I
rebooted. Windows works and/or breaks down in mysterious ways....why state
the obvious.

Peter;
Does Registry Mechanic have an option to Restore the files?
If not, try System Restore to Date/Time before this started:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore

Running Registry Mechanic seemed to cure the problem.

 

[Peter]

Well I followed all steps to the letter. I still don't have any winsock
info in the registry but I can surf again OK, so I guess I'll just pretend
everything is OK

Glad you have it sorted, Peter.

Thanks Kelly, as always Windows remains a mystery as to its periodic nervous
breakdowns and foibles. One day (ha ha) Microsoft might just invent the
perfect system that never breaks down. Yes and I believe the Moon IS made
of green cheese!! LOL

<LOL> but I thought it was blue-cheese! (

As a footnote question... if winsock is not in my registry (still) should I
worry?

 

[Wesley Vogel]

Peter;

Are you sure you don't have >>

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

As the man said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

 

[Peter]

OOPS yes I do have them!!! I guess it took a reboot after tweaking for it
to show....sorry 4 the trouble!!!

 

[Wesley Vogel]

No trouble.
