Well, here I went again...
I recently installed what was termed as a 'DSL management'
program (yes, without doing a backup... go ahead, kick me
now...), and after finding out it was some kind of program
from one of those 'free DSL internet access' companies, I
uninstalled the program. Now almost any program that requires
the use of Winsock or Winsck32 (I can't figure out which)
will give me a "File access denied" message. For example
I run a TradeWars Game Server which when starting up it
shows how it's starting... when it reaches the point of
"Initializing Winsock", it gives the file access denied
message, and will not start. Almost the same goes for
NetModem, when someone telnets to the BBS it will allow
the caller to access the BBS but the "File access denied"
message dings in the background, so it doesen't affect
NetModem *that* much, but still I would like to get this
error corrected. I've tried everything short of reinstalling
Win98 completely. I can access and surf the net, my FTP
server runs fine with no errors, and I've reinstalled the
affected programs (that I've found so far), all with no
change. Something has locked or partially locked up the
winsock, how can I find out what is affecting this and
correct it?(fingers crossed I don't have to do a complete
reinstall). I'm running Win98SE, and yes I removed the
drivers the program installed from the Network settings
area of the control panel. Thanks for any advice.



.... If you're balding, install Windows and you'll pull the rest out.
