Winsock and Connectivity Error

Status
Not open for further replies.
I run a small business and recently we hired a new employee. I was setting up a computer for him that was working just fine a few months ago and now won't connect to the internet!!

It runs Windows XP Home, IE7 and Firefox (the latest).

It is NOT the network card.

I DO NOT have the restore CD's :(

When I run the troubleshooter I get this error:

Error attempting to validate the Winsock base providers: 2
Not all base service provider entries could be found in the winsock catalog. A reset is needed.

Please help! I need to fix this computer for our new employee!!!
