loadqm error causes hard freeze

When pc boots up off the network, there is no error, no
problem evident, boot proceeds normally. When connected to
a peer-to-peer network, Loadqm causes "...invalid
operation in kernel32.dll" and then in ws2_32.dll. MSN
Messenger (owner of loadqm) has been uninstalled from this
machine, so why does this file cause an error when
connected to the network? Is there a winsock error
perhaps? Any help appreciated. Thanks! Linda

Bert,
Thanks for the info and the URL. Interesting reading and I
must say I agree with many of Hans' statements.

I found after my post that the loadqm was realted to MSN
messenger. That unfortunately was just one of many
problems. I uninstalled all instances of AOL and MSN
messenger and went through the registry and deleted the
remnants. Now, I have a problem with IE not wanting to
communicate. IE will load with a blank home page, but as
soon as I try to go to any URL, I get a WS2_32.dll invalid
page fault error. Any ideas on this?

Sorry Linda. I have no idea on your last problem. I am afraid you deleted a
registry entrie to much.

Succes.
