SYMPTOMS
========

When you connect to MSN, The Microsoft Network, you may receive the following
error message:

  Engct caused an invalid page fault in module tcpconn.dll.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if the Wsock32.dll file is damaged or is not the correct
version.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, delete each copy of the Wsock32.dll file from your hard
drive, and then extract a new copy of the Wsock32.dll file from your original
Windows 95 disks or CD-ROM to the Windows\System folder. To do so, use the
following steps:

1. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders.

2. In the Named box, type "wsock32.dll" (without quotation marks), and then
  click Find Now.

3. In the list of found files, right-click each Wsock32.dll file, and then click
  Delete. Continue until the list of found files is empty.

4. Close the Find: Files Named Wsock32.dll window.

5. Extract a new copy of the Wsock32.dll file from your original Windows 95
  disks or CD-ROM to the Windows\System folder.

The Wsock32.dll file is located in the Win95_11.cab cabinet file on the Windows
95 CD-ROM, in the Win95_18.cab cabinet file on the Windows 95 OEM Service
Release 2 CD-ROM, in the Win95_12.cab cabinet file on disk 12 of the Windows 95
DMF format disks, and in the Win95_19.cab cabinet file on disk 19 of the Windows
