I used one of your Tweaks "Repair Loss of Internet Access/Web access" Line
155..... the result stated that I had no winsock application. In search I
couldn't find one either. Should I be worried? The loss of internet
access I was experiencing did disappear after I ran Registry Mechanic - it
found four registry entries to repair. There were none there before I
rebooted. Windows works and/or breaks down in mysterious ways....why state
the obvious.
 
Peter;
Does Registry Mechanic have an option to Restore the files?
If not, try System Restore to Date/Time before this started:

[If you have suddenly lost your Internet connection after removing spy-ware

your connection. This works for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP.

1.) Download WinsockFix.zip. (by: Option^Explicit)

2.) UnZip WinsockFix.zip (Pay close attention to where the file is extracted
to.)
3.) Run WinsockFix.exe.

This program will clean up your TCP/IP connection and rebuild the database.
After the program is complete, reboot and your problems should be resolved.

Well I followed all steps to the letter. I still don't have any winsock
info in the registry but I can surf again OK, so I guess I'll just pretend
everything is OK

Thanks Kelly, as always Windows remains a mystery as to its periodic nervous
breakdowns and foibles. One day (ha ha) Microsoft might just invent the
perfect system that never breaks down. Yes and I believe the Moon IS made
of green cheese!! LOL
 
<LOL> but I thought it was blue-cheese! :o(
