Please check again. The file is in System32 folder in Windows. You do NOT need Show hidden files and folder nor Do not hide protected operating system files as it is not hidden nor a protected file.
Please see my screenshot.
Slight delay now as I am my XP computer but returning to my usual to continue post.
I am back on my usual computer now.
Please confirm that the error message is as you have said and NOT
wsock32.dll
There is a vast difference.
Please see my screenshot.

no the error clearly says winsock32.dll is the filename. thats why i assumed it might be a rootkit since therezseems to be a phantom file named winsock 32 but winsock.dll is still there

In order to eliminate any possible confusion - on my part.
WHICH FILE IS THERE and which FILE is not there.
Please send me a screenshot as I sent you.

winsock32.dll - should NOT be there is System32. folder.
I would be more concerned if it WAS there.
Event Viewer, errors on that report please or use this if you find it easier.

You started this thread on 11 Nov.
My last post 6, on the same day asked if you would send me the result of event viewer log.
You have never responded.
When you get chance would you please do so, indicating if the problem is solved, and it would be helpful to people browsing the threads if you could say HOW.

Your lack of reply after a further 4 days is disappointing.
As a member since 2009, you must be aware that it is not really acceptable to just leave your thread in mid-air so to speak.
If of course, other matters, are preventing you having time to respond, please do so when yoyu get chance.

sorrey to leave you hanging i have been very busy at work .but the computer belonged to a friend and they basically gave up on it and told me that they were just going to buy another one because they needed a computer and it was taking me too long to fix :/ still i wish i could have figured this out. but anyway i am starting to think there were some hardware issues as well as the software issue because there were some devices that were showing up with issues and reinstalling the drivers didn;t fix it. also the issues started right after that big storm that took out the power in CT. I had also tried to reinstall the operating system and gotten repeated I/O errors when the drive tested out good. so i am thinking that it may have had a virus of some kind that was causing the system 32 error but the power outage actually damaged the systeml. and while i was hyperfocused on this wierd file i failed to diagnose the real issues untill i tried to reinstall the os and started encountering all the hardware issues. so end result i ended up just coppying all of her files onto the new machine she got at staples. but regardless the machine is no longer in my possession so i am sorrey but i think this ticket is dead for all intents and purposes
