im on my ps3 talking to you guys at the moment and i dont have a cd or usb to put farbar on where i can try it out do you think if i take it to best buy do you think they could fix it

It may be as simple as finding a copy of the MSWSOCK.dll file and placing it in the system 32 folder.I would like you to try this before spending any money.

thank you sir for the concern and yes i will try it but i think i have to go buy some cd-r or something to transfer it to my laptop where i can see if it works im out of transfer devices to put the farbar on

[rockmilk]

One other method comes to mind can you create a new user and then try to connect that way?

Or perhaps try a system restore to a point prior to the issue.

Try the earliest system restore point that you have.

Or target the MSWSOCK.dll with sfc /scannow

Open an elevated command prompt and copy and paste the text below and hit enter,allow it to run then reboot.

sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\system32\mswsock.dll

Edit: Added Code box.

If the file is missing or corrupt SFC should have replaced it. Rockmilk the other option is to use the OS disk to copy a version from the dll files to the correct system folder on the system. That should take care of the issue short of maybe having to register the dll then.

just got a cd-r to try the farbar method and the newuser method i will try it also but i tried the system restore earlier today and it said i have no restore points so i will try this farbar out and tell you the results

[musicluva]

ok i ran the farbar scan after i checked what you said and it says cannot find the FSS.txt file do you want to create a new file

[rockmilk]

The FSS.txt should be located on your desktop.Can you move farbar service scanner to your desktop and run it from there please.

[musicluva]

ok i ran it from the desktop and a bunch of stuff popped up it is a lot to type should i try to type it

[rshaffer61]

Just attach the txt file if you can.

[musicluva]

im on my ps3 with keyboard i will have to type it

[rshaffer61]

Can you upload the txt file to something like mediafire?

[musicluva]

no because i cant get on the internet thats my whole problem

[rshaffer61]

Copy it to a flash drive. Borrow a friends system or the library. It is important we get that txt file to see what is going on. You only need to have access to a system with internet and USB to do this so not like you are taking the system. Just see if you can use it to send the file.

i have no usb or any kind of device so i guess i will just have to type it
