I accidentally deleted wsock32.dll.

How do I restore it back? I use a Windows XP Media Center Version. I do not have the XP cd, but I got from Sony, the kit dvd with all of the original software in system restore. I find the wsock32.dll on dvd & I sent a copy of it to my desktop.but that I am not able to run.

You see a message like this:

.exe - Unable to locate component
The application has failed to start because WSOCK32.dll is not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

What is the application you are trying to launch that generates the error message (Firefox, iTunes, etc.).

Since the file wsock32.dll is one of 3498 files covered by the Protection of Windows, deleting files, it requires a little extra effort...  How did you accidentally delete it?  (just curious).

If the system works correctly, what do you think has happened since the last time the system worked properly?

Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

Unless there is any trouble with your system, no protected file should never miss...

We need copies of the missing file (and all protected files 3498) in other places on your system that you can use to replace (copy/paste) the missing file.  You just need to find a copy and paste again where it belongs.

The file is here:

c:\Windows\System32

You can search the backup copies of the file here:

c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

Depending on your installation, there might be a copy here:

c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

When you find it, copy and paste the file where it belongs.

The file should never really miss in the first place.  There may be other copies on your system you can find with built in research works, but if it's really not in c:\windows\system32 and you do not have a good explanation for that missing, you have another problem.

You should not have an installation CD XP and sfc/scannow won't help you not (in the case that rises).

  • Accidentally deleted Explorerframe.dll

    I was installing a custom explorerframe.dll, you know, so it would look all pretty and stuff. And I created a backup and applied the new explorerframe, which then failed... I tried to go back to the backup also failed. I knew I had to run sfc scannow, but without the windows Explorer or my taskbar / start menu I had to open the Task Manager, hit run, browse and find cmd to run as admin. After running sfc scannow I have an image of the Explorer. But it looks like something out of Windows Millennium Edition. Then... I'm a bit confused and it this point, I'd be happy just return to my old aero Explorer frame. I tried to change my theme to an aero theme, but just instantly, it is up to the current "of the classic window" theme. I don't know if microsoft has an explorerframe for download but I didn't, so I posted here. Any suggestions on what to do... or how to recover my old explorerframe would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply, I was expecting something a little simpler than a system restore. I didn't pass any of that so I posted here. However, I found the problem. That's when I tested an Aero theme, I clicked on several topics custom that I had installed, none worked. Is because that when the sfc scannow checked and replaced my OS, he deleted all the custom frames, I installed and left only the basic chassis. In addition, to install a custom theme, you must patch the 3 files in the registry. I had also neglected to think that those who too had been replaced by the analysis. They had, so after repatching the registry and uninstalling and reinstalling the theme custom, everything's fine. I'm sorry to waste your time, when I finally thought of it myself. I was hoping just a shortcut to a solution instead of my own trial and error. But thank you nonetheless for your time to answer and have a great day!

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Follow these methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft security on your computer Scanner and check if it helps:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you install the latest anti-virus Microsoft Security essential on the computer program and check if it helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3:

    I suggest to run the check disk and then try to run SFC scan and check if it helps.

  • I accidentally deleted the iCloud device (my iPad not lost or stolen... but it's very very locked down)

    So, I accidentally deleted the iCloud device (but my iPad is not lost or stolen). This all started because I forgot my password and I want to reset the unit. In the process, I have deleted my camera from the iCloud website (stupid self-help sites and my idiocy). in any case, I am about to connect my iPad to iTunes so that I can update and restore my device (which will erase my password and give me a new start... right?) BUT I don't know if I actually restore since, as I said - I deleted icloud . Before I go ahead and update/restore via iTunes, I want someone to confirm or deny or not I'm completely screwed and all my stuff was gone. While I can start crying now rather than later.

    Thanks in advance.
