mr and all, got too many winsocks? Here's an exchange from a user group... I've been having some trouble with occasional IPFs when quitting OE5. I saw a knowledge base article or two that suggested that restoring wsock32.dll from the 98 CD might solve the problem. So, I did a quick search of my C: drive and I found SEVEN instances of wsock32.dll. They are in these directories: c:c:\windows c:\windows\system c:\windows\ws2bakup c:\program files\Internet Explorer c:\program files\netscape\programs c:\program files\netmedic\met.medic\config Do I really need all these Winsocks? Which one does my system really use? If I restore wsock32.dll from the 98 CD, which one gets replaced? I'm using 98 upgrade with the service pack. BTW, the IPF error message is: MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0177:bff7b997. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=0177 EIP=bff7b997 EFLGS=00000246 EBX=bff7b97e SS=017f ESP=01e5fc04 EBP=01e5fc14 ECX=d69e5250 DS=017f ESI=10011008 FS=1307 EDX=bffc9490 ES=017f EDI=00000009 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: ff 76 04 e8 26 89 ff ff 5e c2 04 00 56 8b 74 24 Stack dump: 01a10500 10003203 10011008 5ec76160 00000000 10002801 00000009 5ec74048 d69e5250 1000187b 01a10500 5ec57969 00000000 5ec2e753 00000001 00000000 ------------------------------------------ The only one on my system is in c:\windows\system. It's likely that the others were backups of the previous version created when you installed new programs, there are a number of them that install their own winsock files. I would try replacing the one in windows\system first. You could also try renaming the others to a .old extension and see what happens.
