Modem connects but I can't access the internet!

[shaolin95]

Hi!
This is my problem, it seems that a shareware program somehow screwed my connections settings, registry or whatever. I know the modem works cause I can connect by booting with my second hardisk just fine but with the main hardisk I get the connected ICON but no page can be loaded nor MSN messenger, basically nothing can access the internet.
To give you a better idea here are some of the errors differente applications gave me:

Paltalk (chat program): Cannot initalize socket library , error 10091:SYSTEM not ready

Audio Galaxy: Can not create a new socket! If this is W95 maje sure yo have Microsofts Winsock 2 update installed

Languard: error reading wsock:Local Addr:wsock32.dll:WAS Startup error#10091

What can I do guys I need help badly. I am using W98se.

Sounds like that other program replaced your winsock file. To fix that I would first try reinstalling Dial-up networking.

This Link explains how to do it:
