Madmanmcp Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Different Software packages with load their own or different winsock.dll files and cause problems between different running programs. You run one program which loads its version of the file, you startup a second program and it loads its version overtop the other one. You then switch back to the first program and get and error because its not the right file anymore. Try rebooting and rerunning WS-FTP and see if it works. If it does then just remember to close the program when done and reopen it again if its needed again. This way the correct winsock will be loaded. If it doesn't then the winsock.dll maybe damaged and the WS-FTP program may need to be reinstalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 thanks you guys. Windows XP did an auto update... maybe that was the problem. I'll play around with WS FTP, and if I can't get it working, will reinstall it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
