Last reviewed: July 17, 1997

Article ID: Q153911

The information in this article applies to:


 * The Microsoft Network version 1.2

SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to version 1.2 of MSN, The Microsoft Network, the MSN icon on the desktop may not function.

CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Wsock32.dll file is damaged or missing.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, rename the Wsock32.dll file (if it exists) in the Windows\System folder, and then extract a new copy of the Wsock32.dll file from your original Windows 95 disks or CD-ROM to the Windows\System folder. The Wsock32.dll file is located in the Win95_11.cab cabinet file.

NOTE: If you are using a NEC or Compaq computer with a preinstalled version of Windows 95, the Wsock32.dll file is located in the Win95_19.cab cabinet file.
