Wsock32.dll sounds like an internet protocol driver You might want to try running a browser install program or one of those AOL install disks It is a good idea to rename the file for backup reasons though, just in case you need it To rename a file in the DOS environment:

At the DOS prompt type in the following:

Ren [original file name] [new file name]

OR you could try:

Copy [original file name] [new file name]

remember to specify directory paths.
