    I tried to install my newsgroup reading software, and I received a Winsock error when the program tried to connect to the internet. Can someone tell me why? Also, when I try to log on with MSN Messenger, it won't allow me,

    That error useally means Network ? internet settings are having Issues.

    I would start by reinstalling your TCP/IP settings and internet connections.

    You know, I find it peculiar that all of this has been happening ever since I installed I.E.5.5. Sp2. Would that cause problems?

    Thanks for the help, and I'll try your suggestion.
    Oh, does Windows M.E. have that feature, too?
    I have 2 pc's connected and sharing an internet connection through a router. I used to be able to access Messenger through either machine, but not at the same time, and I can only access Messenger thorugh one machine, now. Ever hear of something like that? It'll allow Yahoo Messenger to log on, but not MSN Messenger.
