SYMPTOMS
On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, you run a network program that uses a Winsock connection. However, when the program calls the recv Winsock function, the following error code is generated:

WSAECONNABORTED (10053)

Note This error code indicates that an established connection was aborted by the software that is installed on the host computer. This behavior may have occurred because of a data transmission time-out or because of a protocol error. If you trace the network communication, you find that the Winsock client sends a reset to the server. The Winsock client performs this action after the client receives and acknowledges a data packet.

Technical support for x64-based versions of Microsoft Windows
If your hardware came with a Microsoft Windows x64 edition already installed, your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for the Windows x64 edition. In this case, your hardware manufacturer provides support because a Windows x64 edition was included with your hardware. Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the Windows x64 edition installation by using unique components. Unique components might include specific device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance of the hardware. Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with a Windows x64 edition. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware. If you purchased a Windows x64 edition such as a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 edition separately, contact Microsoft for technical support.
