How do I clear the "Winsock catalog in "Windows 7". I knew at one time but that over 50 thing has kicked in again. Man I hate it when that happens; for all those under 50 it does not get any better.

Try this:
  • Click Start, and in Start Search, type cmd.

  • Right-click the cmd entry that appears in the search results, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.

  • At the command prompt, type the following, and then press [Enter]:

    netsh winsock reset

    You should see the following message:

    Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset.

  • Restart the computer.
Note: If you receive an "Access Denied" error message instead of the message that is mentioned in step 3, the command prompt was not correctly elevated. In this case, close the Command Prompt window, and repeat steps 1 through 3. Make sure that you correctly implement step 2.
