Article ID: Q180355 The information in this article applies to:
 * Microsoft Windows 95
 * Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release versions 2, 2.1

SYMPTOMS
After you install the Windows Sockets 2.0 update for Windows 95, the Winsock Proxy 2.0 client may not function properly.

For example, if you run the Chkwsp32.exe tool located in the Winsock Proxy client folder (by default, C:\Mspclnt) by typing "chkwsp32 -f" at a command prompt, you may receive either of the following error messages:


 * CHKWSP32 ERROR: WSP client 32bit DLL is not installed
 * CHKWSP32 caused an invalid page fault in module at 0000:00000009.

CAUSE
When you install the Windows Sockets 2.0 update for Windows 95, it replaces the following files with versions that are not compatible with the Winsock Proxy 2.0 client:

Winsock Proxy 2.0 Client:

Wsock32.dll  160,528   09-15-97   1:00a Winsock.dll  127,696   09-15-97   1:00a Windows Sockets 2.0 Update: Wsock32.dll  66,560   06-24-97   11:14a Winsock.dll  42,480   06-24-97   11:14a

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, install the Winsock Proxy 2.0 client again after you install the Windows Sockets 2.0 update and Dial-Up Networking 1.2b.

MORE INFORMATION
You must install the Dial-Up Networking 1.2b upgrade before you install the Windows Sockets 2.0 update. You can download both from the following Microsoft Web site:
