DNS ERROR FIX for Windows 95 98 and ME


Go to add/remove programs in the control panel.
Go to the Windows Setup Tab.
Uncheck Communications.
Click apply
Click OK
It will ask you to reboot

DO NOT REBOOT. Say NO


Leave the control panel up.

Go to Start/Run/ Type in regedit

Highlight My Computer on the left. At the top of the registry editor,
click Registry/Export registry file. Save it to your desktop, call it backup.reg.
Make sure the Export Range at the bottom is set to all.


Once the registry is backed up, browse to each of the following keys in the registry and

delete them.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VXD\AFVXD


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VXD\DHCP

When you get up and running again, try connecting to the net and browsing. IT WORKS
