Thanks Adrian:
Any name to that Microsoft patch for fixing bad updates. I am at this moment trying
to doenload WinsockXPFix.exe which is claimed to solved this Winsock problem, these
articles claim that Winsock is poorly implemented in XP, let us see if it fixes this
problem. I am tryiing to use RegistryMedic. It may be due to an improper Avast upgrade?,
IMesh(which is claimed to mess us Winsock registry entries). I just hope it solves
itself. But as I see it must be the MS update.
In any case thanks much, if things dont work, I will just start allover gain.
Alan
