Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Jeff - From my Blog, Defending Your Machine, addy below in my Signature:


PRELIMINARY STEPS


#########IMPORTANT#########
Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs below, download
both a copy of LSPFIX here:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

AND a copy of Winsockfix for W95, W98, and ME
http://www.tacktech.com/pub/winsockfix/WinsockFix.zip
Directions here: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257

or here for Win2k/XP
http://files.webattack.com/localdl834/WinsockxpFix.exe
Info and download here: http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Directions here: http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm

The process of removing certain malware may kill your internet connection.
If this should occur, these programs, LSPFIX and WINSOCKFIX, will enable you
to regain your connection.


For XP SP2, you can also use the Run command: netsh winsock reset catalog

to fix this problem without the need for these programs.

For XP pre-SP2, you can use this Run command: netsh int ip reset
resetlog.txt


Also, one MS technician suggested that the following sequence of Run
commands for XP may help in some cases:

netsh int reset all
ipconfig /flushdns

See also: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/winsock.htm for additional XPSP2
info/approaches using the netsh command.

An alternative approach with necessary .reg files which will often work even
when the above doesn't is defined here, courtesy of MVP Bob Cerelli:
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/ie_tips.htm#winsock_fix Recommended.

Remember - you need to do any downloads ahead of time BEFORE you do any
malware cleaning.
#########IMPORTANT#########




I would recommend that you try the SP SP2 Winsock commands and Bob Cerelli's
..reg files and see if that helps.

|| I Just installed SP2 and I cannot use network connections now. I had

|| said I just installed SP2 to Windows XP and this happened. Also I
|| noticed when I r/click in the network connections window on
|| "refresh" it comes up and says "service not running". Also when I go
|| to Administrative tools in control panel then click on "services"
|| drop down to network connections and r/click and select properties
|| this is in the command line, "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k
|| netsvcs" when I run this it says "unable to load module", so
|| updating to SP2 has diabled this somehow and I cannot turn on
|| network connections to view my adapters. any help would be
|| appreciated!
|| Thank you
||
|| BTW this happend with just the SP2 install, not the updates after
