Bubba,

If you have patience left for this, I'd like to see if Winsock may be corrupted.

Go to Start .. Run ... type Msinfo32, click OK
Expand Components, expand Network, click on Protocol

If Winsock is OK, you should see at least ten sections listed. If less than that, it may point to a registry corruption.

go to command prompt

type sfc /scannow

Also, are you running SP2 or SP3 on this PC or was it restored from a CD?

[huntor]

If none of the above work. Go to the gun store buy yourself a shotgun and have fun!!!

Yup above and also did you run a system file check

A "Windows File Protection" window pops up asking that I insert the WinXP Professional Service Pack 3 CD. I don't have the CD.

Also, are you running SP2 or SP3 on this PC or was it restored from a CD?

Huntor, the luck he's having the gun may misfire.

This damned computer attempted to commit suicide by jumping out of the first floor window of my house. It can't even do that right!

[Tonto7-PG-]

The gun won't do him any good, the stores are all out of ammo!

[huntor]

Haha very true!
