Question : 10038:Socket Operation on non-socket

Ok I have a Windows 98 SE Fujitsu Stylistic LT tablet computer

I have and had working a linksys wpc11 pcmcia wifi network card

I installed a DBT120 bluetooth dongle last night (cell phone connection desired)

it uses widcomm software (WIDCOMM SOFTWARE REALLY FREAKING SUCKS)

it trashed my system. Windows crashiung kernel 32 crashing wlan utility crashing (subject error) even bt tray crashing (the BT worked though kind off)

I promptly ELIMINATE the widcomm software and everything settled down EXCEPT my network access. whenever the wlan utility opens thats the error I get. I think that is also why though the BT did connect to my phone I could not browse

my only guess is that "something" that stinking widcomm software did is persisting.

Dlink tells me to reinstall windows (that is an extreme last resort as reinstalliung windows on a tablet is a royal pain in the ...)

Linksys blows me off Operating system error contact microsoft (yeah that will work)

Widcomm. left them a message I dont expect much from them.

so any ideas ? I reinstalled TCP/IP and file sharing no joy.

It sound to me like the widcomm software hosed something related to networking and I need to fix it.

Any suggestions ?
