Winsock fault in Vista

[John]

Was just wondering, is this fault going to be fixed for Windows 7. Ever so
often it locks up both chrome and IE and the only way to rectify is a full
restart. Cannot fix it via task manager.

Can't say I've ever experienced this in either XP. Vista or Windows 7....

You reset Winsock, which resets the tcp/ip stack without rebooting.
