I get the same error message, but only while trying to load certain
webpages.
I have WinXP Pro Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm:Service Pack
2), and IE Version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp.sp2_rtm. Update Version:; SP2;
I am going through a router, then to a cable modem. I can ping
anywhere.
I run AdAwareSE, SpyBot3.1, and Nortion Antivirus 2003 once a week. I
keep NA scanning all incoming/outgoing e-mails. AdAware and SpyBot
found a few items.
I deleted them, and emptied cookies and all temp internet files.
I have tried the following with no positive results;
cmd then netsh winsock reset
lspfix.exe -The only thing that shows up is mswsock.dll, winrnr.dll,
rsvpsp.dll.
I think I need all of them. And it doesn't give me any options to add
anything, unless I click on I know what I'm doing, which I don't.
WinsockFix.Exe
I also try to repair lsp.dll from the msconfig page, but it won't let
me browse to where the file is located. I can get to MyComputer, but
no folders, or drives show up to choose from.
I have also uninstalled ie and reinstalled it. No luck.
Then uninstalled SP2 and reinstalled it. No luck.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I'm considering
formatting C:, and reinstalling WinXP Pro, but that would be my last
resort.
