Thank You Jason,

I have tried the WinSockFix that was a download. Is that program a
different fix than the WinSock2 you are referring to? If so I certainly
will try it. I've also found that when trying to start IE6 that it starts a
process but doesn't open IE. Then when trying again it will open IE and
start another process. When using that intranet program for the company I
get a caching error 3, then a runtime error 6026, then it closes IE but
allows the intranet program to continue. It is then possible to open
another browser and it will start yet another process. I did load
Mozilla/Forefox browser to see if it was a Winsock problem and it works just
fine. I'm still stumped! Any other suggestions? If the Winsock and the
Winsock2 are different I will try your suggestion.
Thank You Again for Your Response Jason
