If you have updated Windows and have SP2 (you should by now)
Go to the Start button > to the Run box > type cmd and the command window opens

now type: netsh winsock reset

this will repair your corrupted Winsock

if you do not have SP2 yet for some reason, then read this page from
MS on how to repair your Winsock

Afterwards go to Windows Updates and get everything you do not have yet. There has been a lot of updates and patches over the last few months. They come out the 2nd Tuesday of every month, but this month they were released early to fix a critical patch.
