Lost a System file- now what?

Seems like I lost a System file and Win95 complains about it everytime it loads. The file is: WS2_32.DLL.
Anyone know where I could find a copy? Tried MSN-no luck.
:(

if only you had asked me that 5 years ago, I would have given you a copy... :rolleyes:

Oh, Sirjorj, you break my heart... :lol:

the ws3_32.dll is the winsock 2 sockets dll. Wish I had a 95 system ;) You might want to try reinstalling the network components. You probably could find a ws2_32 dll to download if you search for winsock 2. I beleive there is a site out there mainted by mircosoft which updates the new winsock functions/libs/dlls avaiable for download. I forget the web page though ;) If I find it I'll post back here.

pick it here ftp://ftp.pinnaclesys.com

Thank you folks for suggestions.
The problem is resolved. Thought you might like to know how I found the solution. I happened upon a Shareware distribution site and found "ZILLA Tuneup and Optimizer" which turns out to be quite a terrific freeware program. Upon launching it immediately noted the problem and came up with a very deep Microsoft link to the download page for upgrading the socket code. It also has a host of features.
Life is good! :)
