To sort this problem out, restart your computer in Safemode.
Once in Safemode, navigate to RUN, once run is open, type CMD. You should see a new box open. Once this command prompt has opened, type in "netsh winsock reset" without quotations. That should sort that problem out. As for the other one, I will be back. BAsically ou need to re-register the "winsock.ocx"
