Hi, My son has messed up his installation of Windows XP Home (came pre installed on his laptop) and I'm trying to fix it for him. He is currently running MS Windows Home Edition v5.1 SP2 and every time the laptop loads it comes up with the error message 'The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll'. Is there anything I can do to fix this? > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > do > to fix this?

Sorry if I sound thick!

Lots of pieces of XP are written in C++, and they require this dll. Jim Thanks, Jim. I understand that I don't have to have Visual C++ installed to need the run time dll, but the solution that's being pointed at (KB822334) seems to require Visual C++ before it can be implemented - or am I missing something? > > Hi MIke, > > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > pieces of XP are written in C++, and they require this dll. > Jim I have messed up his installation of Windows XP Home Edition (came pre installed on his pavillion 524c desktop) and I'm trying to fix it for him.
