WinMX???

Okay, so I installed Winmx late last year and was way happy with it, I mean as far as file sharing goes, winmx was the easiest, most convenient way of finding files. So anyway, about a month ago, it decided to stop working. What I mean by this is, every time I clicked search it wouldn't search and I just had the word 'stopped' there. So, after getting well annoyed with it I decided to uninstall it so I could reinstall it.

My problem is this. After re-downloading it I went to install it. I get to the part where it says choose the program directory or file or something and then I get this nasty little message.....

'A required .DLL file, WS2_32.DLL, was not found'.

Can someone please explain to me what this file is, how I can get it and why it isn't there?

Thankyou heaps.

Bye

Hey!!

So I went away for a while and then I came back and I've felt bad for ages about not saying thanks, so thankyou heaps!! I went to that site and tried all that stuff, but in the end it just got annoying and I got over it. Then, imesh decided to annoy me some more so I just typed in, WS2_32.DLL in the search bar and came up with someone who had the same problem as me. So I downloaded this thing w95ws2setup, and it makes a ws2 file, and now winmx is working right!!!

So while I found the solution elsewhere, I still thankyou heaps for helping me.

Bye!!

If you are like I am and are lacking in the "technical skills" department, but at the same time, miss using WinMX, there is a quick, easy and free solution it is called MXPIE. There is no spyware or anything else bundled with it. For those a little more savvy and courageous, there is even a manual option.

So come on back to WinMX, and download to your hearts content. Thanks to these updates, not even the power of the RIAA can stop a network.
