  "Good idea for a program, but I think its better to do it manually."

  by CableguyTK on January 24, 2006

  Pros: Its free.

  Cons: It didn't work for me.

  I got computers with broken winsock in working order by fixing it manually...that is replacing the three main winsock DLL files from with good copies from a working computer (winrnr.dll, mswsock.dll, rsvpsp.dll) and deleting the broken WinSock registry keys and replacing them with good copies from a working computer (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2).

  This program only goes as far as replacing the bad dll's. A broken winsock is a 2 part game...the bad files and the bad registry keys as mentioned above. This program doesn't touch them and has limited success.

  Thank you for submitting your feedback!

  For some odd reason Download.com blocked out the registry keys with *'s.

  The keys are as follows:

  HKLM_SYSTEM_CurrentControlSet_Services_Winsock

  HKLM_SYSTEM_CurrentControlSet_Services_WinSock2
