To repair Winsock if you have Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed, type netsh winsock reset at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.

Note Restart the computer after you run this command. Additionally, for computers that are running Windows XP SP2, there is a new netsh command that can rebuild the Winsock key.

To access command prompt Try cmd and in rundialog box from the start menu

Try the following into a command Prompt: "netsh winsock reset catalog" if this worked then let it be or if not then try this :"netsh winsock reset"
test to see if this worked, if not then do this: "netsh int ip reset"
