reinstalling winsock and winsock2 after deleting from registy

[Dennis Grosser]

After doing the delete winsock and winsock2 from registry
I now cannot resolve names on this PC. Please read below I
now only have three keys instead of the original 11 Sub
Keys. How do I renistall winsock and winsock2 like the
original stated below.

This method will restore basic functionality to the
Winsock keys, but is not a complete rebuild. On a default
install of Windows XP the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsoc
k2\ParametersProtocol_Catalog9\Catalog_Entries - will have
11 sub-keys. When applying this method, the
Catalog_Entries will only have three sub-keys. However,
it doe work. The missing entries relate back to the:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\
Parameters\Interfaces key
