Minor Problem

Jonbo298 · 06-13-2004, 06:24 PM

As I was typing my original reply (which wasn't getting much help since Google didn't help as much), I checked one more site. And someone else with the problem had replies from people and someone posted something to try and it worked for 2 people (the only ones who replied after it). And just ot make sure, your running Windows 98/ME right?

Here's the link. Read the directions he posted CAREFULLY. And as he said, make sure to backup your registry just in case you delete the wrong thing and can recover the registry. Also, I'd recommend making sure you have your Win98/ME disk handy just in case.

He's running ME (told me on AIM earlier). And I had to wade through 4 pages before getting a forum in which there were replies from people (and a solution someone posted) that said it worked. I figured he had 98 or ME since each click kept mentioning 98 or ME.

Jonbo of your taking to him on aim just tell him how to do a nuke and pave and a com bomb and that should fix it with out the reg hack unless his comms are totaly screwed.

I have been doing stuff today so I couldn't talk to him on aim. I printed out the directions, and I'm going to go try to fix my computer now. Just so you know Hero2, I'm on my dad's computer, and it's not screwed. The reason my computer is screwed is because I tried reformating it and I didn't know what I was doing and I screwed it up. It didn't reformat, and I was able to get to my desktop, but nothing worked. I eventually decided to just uninstall windows, and reinstall it. Now this is the problem that I'm having. Thanks everyone again, hopefully this will work.

Edit:

Oh crap, I just read this instructions, and it's for dial-up. I don't use dial-up, I have cable.

Another Edit:

I was looking for it online and I read this.

Question/Problem: Socket operation on non-socket.

Answer/Solution: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. The specified socket parameter refers to a file, not a socket.

and..

you need to do error checking on the call to socket(). your socket is not being created correctly, or the variable that you claim to contain the socket doesnt actually contain it. where is the rest of the code.

which was posted by someone.

Basically I have come to the conclusion that this socket wasn't created correctly when I reinstalled windows ME. Should I try to reinstall it again?
