I have had many problems with my winsock and socket errors. I came to the realization that the only way to resolve the problem was to format and reinstall (restoring did not help). I recently partitioned my hard drive, moved some storage stuff to the newly created drive D (so as to be able to keep some things, formatted the c drive, and reinstalled windows second edition from a microsoft windows second edition cd. My system is a HP system and the operating system I installed is NOT the one that came with the pc (it was faulty - so i couldn't use that one). Now, I must install drivers for the video card, sound card, dial up modem, ect...
I have the software for my lan (ethernet) card so that was not a problem. My problem exists with the fact that the software I have from HP, that contains all the software and drivers ect
, does not work. When trying to install anything thing off it (such as the virus scan program), I recieve an error message telling me that this cd was created for an HP system only. Seeing as I installed the operating system off of a microsoft disk and not the HP disk, HP will not provide any technical support on how I should obtain the correct drivers to reinstall my video card, sound card, 56K modem, etc...
Please direct me on what i should do, where i should look, and how to do it.  Thank you for your time!!!
