Error 10093

When I try torun the software for linksys wireless card I get a error msg of
10093:Successful WSAStartup not yet preformed. How do I get this fixed?

I am having the same problem. I have XP and have been using the card for six
months. I got a motice that I had a virus and after removing it began to
receiving this error message. I can't connect to the internet in any way now.
Wireless or otherwise. microsoft lists the error message as:
WSANOTINITIALISED
10093
Successful WSAStartup not yet performed.
Either the application has not called WSAStartup or WSAStartup failed. The
application may be accessing a socket that the current active task does not
own (that is, trying to share a socket between tasks), or WSACleanup has been
called too many times.
However, I have no idea how to fix it. All help will be greatly appreciated.

I found a fix for this that worked for me. Here is the link for the message
board where I found the fix:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...dcd716dea2d2cd
And here is the text:
This could be a Winsock catalog error


I have traced several of these problems to improperly configured winsock
LSPs. Run "winmsd" and go to Components/Network/Protocol. Look at the
names in the list, anything with "MSAFD" in it or the "RSVP xxx Service
Provider" should be fine. Anything else is suspect, and uninstalling the
owning program might help.


If that fails or your provider list is empty, you may need to rebuild the
catalog from scratch. The following instructions will rebuild your catalog
for TCP/IP. If you are using any other transports (If you don't know, then
you probably aren't) then you will have to reinstall them as well.


1. Backup and delete the following registry keys


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock2


2. Reboot


3. Go to the network connections folder, right click the icon for your
network connection, and select properties.


4. Click install, choose "protocol", and click "add..."


5. Click "Have Disk...", enter "\windows\inf", click OK


6. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click OK


7. When the process in complete, reboot
