13918 2001-06-10 06:16:00 I have downloaded the file sharing program ' Bearshare ' & installed it several times now, thinking it may have arrived in a damaged state.
However, when I go to open the program,a message says it can't because I am missing ' WS2_32.DLL '

I have searched as best as possible my windows 95 install disc and can't find it anywhere.

Please can any body help me.
Thank you.

13919 2001-06-10 08:12:00 Hello John, the missing dll is Windows Socket 2.0, an upgrade for Windows 95, thats why it isnt on your disk.
You can get it from Microsoft at this rather long URL:

www.microsoft.com

Otherwise just type in part of the URL and find your way.

It may pay you to update your Dial Up Network at the same time, I think there is a link to that from this web page.

Cheers

13920 2001-06-10 08:24:00 'ws2_32.dll' is winsock2, but newer versions of windows should already have it. If you are running windows 95 and not applied any updates or service packs and the like then you can download the Windows Socket 2 update, & read the relevent info at: www.microsoft.com Guest (0)
