Hi folks. I'm not sure if this belongs in this area, if not I'll repost somewhere else.
Anyhow, I keep getting these 3 pop-up error messages every couple minutes for the last couple days. What do you make of them? I can't figure out anyway to fix this;
Here's a direct screenshot of the problem at hand::
http://img237.echo.c...06/popup9yx.jpg

the 1st one pops up with:

:Windows System:
Error in Winsock Module
Connection Structure is unknown.

Possible Reason:
Your firewall and/or antivirus application block the
System file: smss.exe

Make sure that "smss.exe." can connect to
the internet!

followed by:

:Windows System:
Error in Winsock Module
Connection Structure is unknown.

Possible Reason:
Your firewall and/or antivirus application block the
System file: services.exe

Make sure that "services.exe." can connect to
the internet!

and finally:

:Windows System:
Error in Winsock Module
Connection Structure is unknown.

Possible Reason:
Your firewall and/or antivirus application block the
System file: csrss.exe

Make sure that "csrss.exe." can connect to
the internet!

Please help me out! thanks in advance!

Seems like a registry problem - something that is not a socket is trying to connect to the internet.

Try a registry clean up and uninstall all junk programs that yu no longer need!!

hopefull that should help

Hi there!

sorry in the delay of getting back to you. What Operating System are yu running and also do you have any firewall or antivirus on your computer?

Trying turning these two off and see what happens..

Will get back to you with more info as soon as i can!
