Hi Slarty,

You are "politically correct", as ever, Sir.

Have some old pc at work which has w95 on it.its mmx200 with 32mg of memory
I am glad that you did not suggest that it might be an intentional virus..........I would lose all my street credibility?...........a bit like a car thief looking at a Lada

I was trying to provoke the next error message.............then I would know that it was a total Winsock omission, or just a corrupt file..................I do not think that it is as easy to find support for old stuff at Microsoft anymore.............I have certainly had that experience.

I do have loads of copies of the complete Winsock2 for 95 update on CDs, but they are too large to send over the forum (I think?)

Good to hear from you again

Cheers
