I found something on pcmech.com. It appears to be a registry problem. They mentioned <A HREF="http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network-Tweak/WinSockFix.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network-Tweak/WinSockFix.shtml</A> I have not looked at it. You could try a registry clean product or a PC tuneup product. Some are on <A HREF="http://www.pctools.com" target="_blank">http://www.pctools.com</A>. They are rated very good. Hope this helps a little...
