WS3_32.DLL (which is part of Winsock2) isn't part of the original 95 installation. Windows 95 users needed to install the Winsock2 update seperately, but it's included in a 98 installation. Once you download that .DLL file you need to Copy it into the C:\Windows\System folder. Let us know, if you have any further problems with that. Plus, you should upgrade to Dial-up Networking 1.4, (DUN 1.4), if you have an older version. It should be listed in Add/Remove programs with the version number. Make sure you choose the download for 98 on this Microsoft page.

Winzip is often used, so it may already be there. However, it has a nag screen to purchase it, so it's not very desireable to use. Here's a few to choose from. Read the descriptions of them, then get the one that sounds easiest for you.

I don't know what the problem is, but do you happen to know, if anti-spyware cleaners have been used on this computer? There's a Winsock2 fix I could have you run to repair it for you, but if there's a spyware infection, it would be best to know, or find out, about that first. Are you very experienced with computers? If you understand this information, you can check against these symptoms on this page and decide if you want to run this fix. Winsock2 Fix- 98/ME Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: re:WS3_32.DLL missing Monday, October 3, 2005 at 5:21 pm Posted by Ms. Eagle (33640 messages posted) You're welcome, but you should keep your replies on the forum. As for the C:\Windows\System32 directory, Windows 98 and other 9x systems don't use that folder, so it's normal for there not to be much there. It's C:\Windows\System that's important. To speed things up a bit, and hopefully get your problems sorted, would you please download this little program, Hijack This. Hijack This 1.99.1 Please create a New folder for it, and unzip it into that folder. Just follow these instructions, and if you've any questions or something isn't clear let me know. Hijack This will show different things running on your system, including the location, which should tell us, if there's a spyware infection. It helps us to see the situation better. Unzip 'Hijack This' into it's own folder. Example: C:\HJT. It creates backups, and they're automatically saved in the same location. Disconnect from the net and close all open windows. Run 'HJT' and Click "Do a system scan and save a logfile". Note: most of the entries in HiJack This will be harmless or even essential. Don't fix anything yet. Once the scan is finished, the log will automatically open in Notepad. Select all and copy/paste the entire log here.
