248876 2004-07-01 06:33:00 When I try to run Spybot after I have install Spybot from the disk received with the July issue of PC World, I get an error messages which reads: "A required .DLL file, WS2_32.DLL, was not found". How do I fix it or get around it? I use Windows 95.

Also, when I try to install the Adaware software fromthe disk, it merely shows a small pop up window for a few seconds which says, 'initializing instalation', this pop up goes away and nothing happens. What do I do to install Adaware?

Here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz)

it appears to be a win 95 related prob. i think? Also i may be wrong... but i have a feeling "Adaware" is not compatible with win 95, somebody may be able to correct me on this however.

Ad-aware is compatible with Microsoft® Windows® 98/Me/NT/2000 and XP Home and Professional.
