266975 2004-08-30 06:38:00 I am getting the following two messages popping up in this order:
"The procedure entry point getaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll" and
"The procedure entry point WSCUpdate provider could not be located in the dynamic link library W32_32.dll"
I run Windows XP Home. I have used "Restore system", taken off the latest trial game my son loaded and wonder if it was a problem with linking to Auckland City library or to the new Slingshot webmail. These are my only expectations.

266976 2004-08-30 07:01:00 This site tells u what the 1st error means

support.microsoft.com


The 2nd one maybe spyware.

Go here and post back what appears under run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micorsoft\Windows\Cutr rentVersion\Run

It might be a file under run, which is bringing up this error


Are any service packs installed?

Do a search of your hard drive for the missing file. I found a copy of it in windows/system32 and Windows/system32/dllcache.

I presume the one is a backup copy and can be used to replace the missing copy.

266978 2004-08-30 09:01:00 How do I do this, please? Thanks for the help. BernieL (1913)
266979 2004-08-30 09:21:00 I went to the link at 822334 and it seems to be saying to start Visual Studio .NET2003 I did a search for this program and it did not come up. I run Office XP. What do I do now? BernieL (1913)
266980 2004-08-30 09:30:00 Putting in run (Guess that's right) for HKEY_LOCAL etc I get to My Documents folder for one of my sons. BernieL (1913)
266981 2004-08-30 09:52:00 search for a file called trickler_4010.exe. if its on your hard drive

Get spybot from www.spybot.info and scan your system

Also that first error u asked about The procedure entry point getaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll).

Does it say a name of a file at all??

266982 2004-08-31 05:21:00 No, it didn't.
Have run Spybot and got rid of the other file from the registry etc.
Thanks.
Will now go hunting for the file you suggest.

266983 2004-08-31 05:31:00 The file trickler_4010.exe cannot be found. BernieL (1913)
266984 2004-08-31 05:33:00 It may be part of "bundle.exe" if that makes sense - that's what shows at the top of the error. BernieL (1913)
