SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Restore Winsock 1.1 may be missing from the list of installed programs in the Add\Remove Programs tool in Control Panel.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you apply the Winsock 2 patch to Microsoft Windows 95 before you upgrade to Windows 98 or Windows Me.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
By default, Windows 95 installs Winsock 1.1. When you upgrade Windows 95 to Windows 98 or Windows Me, Winsock 1.1 is upgraded to Winsock 2, and Restore Winsock 1.1 is added to the Add/Remove Programs tool so that you can restore your original configuration if needed. If you install the Winsock 2 patch in Windows 95 and then upgrade to Windows 98 or Windows Me, this information is not kept, because Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me are using the same version of Winsock 2 at that point.
