You have a program that launches at startup that tries to use an online
connection. The online connection is not available and a socket error is
the result. It may be a program that you have configured in this manner, a
program that has this setting as a default and it needs to be changed or
you have picked up spyware or a virus that is trying to go online at
startup.

Scan the system with an antivirus program that has current virus
definitions installed. Also scan for adware, spyware etc.

A quick online check for adware, spyware, hijackers and other nasties:
http://www.aumha.org/a/noads.htm

There are links on that page leading to doxdesk.com, a site well-known for
accurately documenting various parasites. Another good resource site for
info on parasites: http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/

When you've eliminated "unwanteds" and if the error still appears, check
your startup programs (start> Run> Msconfig) to locate which one is trying
to go online right at startup. Use the check boxes to aid in a process of
elimination until you find which program is doing this. Then open the main
program and change its settings.
 
Thank you for your help
