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
