Winsock Reinstall

[Guest]

Thank you for taking time to review this question.
I have a friend using Windows 2000 and he has determined (through time on
the phone with some tech support people) that his Winsock is either
inoperable, corrupt, or gone. He would like for me to reinstall it for him.
What is the recommended procedure to accomplish this feat? He has his
Win2000 disk.
Thank you.

Try the utility LSP-fix

Often this kind of problem where the WINSOCK gets corrupted is the consequence of malware
being removed from a system that puts hooks into the WINSOCK.
