SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft WebTV and Internet Explorer 5 on your Windows 98-based computer, Winsock-based programs may not work correctly.

AutodialFcnName32 value: "BPCInternetAutodialHandler"



RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, use Registry Editor to modify the following registry information as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\Autodial

AutodialDllName32 value: change "sddata.dll" to "wininet.dll"

AutodialFcnName32 value: change "BPCInternetAutodialHandler" to "InternetAutodialCallback"
